Wood Selection
The wood we use is both beautiful and well suited for making furniture. They are all hardwoods, which make them less susceptible to dents and scratches. They are also relatively stable on the spectrum of woods, meaning they move less from seasonal moisture changes than some other species are prone to.
Black Walnut
Black Walnut grows throughout North America, with Eastern Black Walnut, English Walnut, and Claro Walnut being the most common species. This wood has a rich, dark brown color and varies from formal straight grain to more character-filled patterns, offering a rich, elegant look.
Monkey Pod
Monkey Pod, also known as Rain Tree, is native to Central and South America and is popular in modern homes. Its deep, rich grain patterns and striking contrast between heartwood and sapwood provide a tasteful look, with a brown color slightly lighter than walnut.
Maple
Maple is a classic American hardwood known for its soft, comfortable feel and variety of grain patterns, from formal and straight to ambiguous with character. Big leaf maple often features a 3D wavey appearance, adding depth and uniqueness to its blonde color.
Oak
Oak is a durable and classic American hardwood known for its timeless and pleasing appearance. It remains a popular choice for creating long-lasting, elegant pieces.
Pecan
Pecan is the largest variation of hickory trees, offering striking color contrasts from light blonde to reds and browns. Its grain combines formal and ambiguous patterns, making it an excellent choice for incorporating lighter tones into your home.
Mesquite
Mesquite, native to the arid southwest United States, often appears as a large shrub, making large diameter trees rare and unique. This red-colored wood with intricate grain patterns is one of the hardest and most stable species, perfect for furniture.
