Hardwoods most commonly used for building custom furniture.
We source all of our hardwoods through local and trusted suppliers.
White Oak
Warm tan with a straight, even grain. Hard and resistant to moisture, which makes it one of the most durable choices for a dining table.
Mahogany / African Mahogany
Reddish brown that deepens to a rich, warm tone with age, with a natural shimmer that seems to move as the light changes. Stable and fine-grained, it has been a choice for heirloom furniture for centuries.
Walnut
Deep chocolate brown that mellows to a rich, warm tone over time. Long prized for fine furniture, it brings a depth of color no other domestic wood matches.
Hickory
Vibrant grain, with an underlined rustic appearance. This is the hardest and most dense of the domestic woods, with strong contrast between its heartwood and sapwood.
Ash
Light in color with a bold, open grain. Strong and slightly flexible, it holds up well to daily use.
Maple / Sugar Maple
Light and creamy with a tight, smooth grain. Very hard, with a clean look that suits modern designs.
