Here's a strip I couldn't get to break. Granted, it was only 3/32" thick x 1" wide or so, not a full 1/8", but it still reminded me a lot of hickory. It didn't have the spring back hickory would of had though, it kinda took a set, more than a good sapwood hickory strip would. And the grain was all over the place.
Edit: Notice the black burn marks from my abused woodslicer blade,

. I just keep cleanin it off, and it just keeps cuttin, it just burns and smokes like hell. Power tools are never gonna be my thing probably,
