The choice of wood species can significantly impact the outcome of your creations. Each type of wood possesses unique characteristics that lend themselves to specific aesthetics, durability, and workability. Let’s delve into a selection of prominent wood species, each with its distinct charm.
We use real sustainable American hardwoods to build our frames. Our wood is sourced from small local mills, and every board is handpicked for grain quality and character. We also hand finish every frame with natural oils and wax. We love trees and support responsible environmental practices and stewardship of our earth.
Oak, a quintessential choice. Its prominent grain patterns, varying from straight to intricate, enhance its visual appeal. Available in red and white varieties, oak is renowned for its strength and durability, making it ideal for furniture and cabinetry that stand the test of time.
Ash wood’s strength and flexibility have made it a go-to choice for creating everything from sports equipment to furniture. Its pale color and straight grain lend themselves well to contemporary designs. Ash’s shock resistance and ability to take stains and finishes evenly make it a versatile wood species for a wide range of projects.
Maple wood boasts a smooth, pale texture that allows it to accept a variety of finishes flawlessly. Its exceptional workability and resistance to wear make it a popular choice for intricate carvings, cabinetry, and flooring. The delicate grain adds a touch of sophistication to any woodworking project.
