Wood(s)

Wood – We use only the highest furniture grade hardwood planks - no particle board, laminates, nor plywood except for our moisture resistant coated bunkie board. Only the best furniture today is made with this quality of wood throughout, because the durability and beauty of real wood is second to none.

Furniture grade wood when handled with care and properly finished is one of the warmest, most beautiful materials in the world for furniture. Every species of wood has its own set of characteristics and unique qualities. We have hand selected three varieties that are all suitable for our products but have very different grain patterns and finishing qualities. Please remember that no two boards are ever alike. Part of the charm of real wood is the imperfections and color variations inherent to any 100% natural product.

Poplar (Tulipwood)

Poplar (Tulipwood) leaves resemble a tulip. The wood of this tree is straight grained with a medium to fine texture. It's coloring varies from pale yellowish brown to olive green. Exposure to light darkens the green color to turn brown. This coloration makes this less desireable for most stains, but its smoothness makes it ideal for painted surfaces.

Northern Red Oak

The Northern Red Oak is mostly straight grained with a coarse texture. Even when finish sanded and finished the grain is evident to the touch. The wood is hard and heavy.

Brown Maple

Maple varies in color from light to dark reddish brown depending on its growing area. Some maple is very straight grained. We use Brown Maple which has more of the naturally occuring grain patterns such as "curly", "fiddleback", "tigerstripe", and "birds-eye".
