Wood Selection We source only premium-grade hardwood that exceeds standard furniture industry specifications. While most furniture makers use Number 1 Common grade lumber (typically 66-83% clear wood yield), we hand-select from FAS (First and Seconds) and Select grades that yield 83-100% clear, defect-free wood. This superior grading means wider boards, better color consistency, and exceptional grain matching throughout each piece.

Our craftsmen spend considerable time matching individual boards for color harmony, character, and grain pattern - a process that results in furniture with visual continuity rarely achieved with standard-grade lumber. These higher grades provide longer, wider clear cuttings that allow us to showcase the wood's natural beauty without interruption from defects.

Wood Species We never stain our wood. Each piece is crafted from 100% natural solid wood in cherry, walnut, white oak, and hard maple - the actual species your furniture will be built from. This approach preserves the wood's authentic grain patterns and natural character while ensuring superior structural integrity.

Our Signature Finish Every piece receives our proprietary organic finish - a carefully formulated blend of food-grade certified oils and natural waxes developed exclusively for our furniture. This non-toxic, zero-VOC finish penetrates deep into the wood fibers to enhance natural beauty while providing exceptional protection against scratches, moisture, and daily wear.

Key Benefits:

  • Enhanced Beauty: Natural oils highlight the wood's grain and develop a rich patina over time that adds character
  • Superior Durability: Our oil-based formula creates a protective barrier that's more resilient than many conventional finishes
  • Easy Maintenance & Repair: Unlike film finishes that chip or peel, our penetrating finish can be easily refreshed and spot-repaired without refinishing the entire piece
  • Health-Conscious: Food-grade ingredients make our finish safe around children and those with chemical sensitivities

This finishing system represents years of development and testing, resulting in furniture that not only looks beautiful but improves with age and use.

Dining tables feature our commercial-grade finish system, providing restaurant-level durability for water resistance and intensive daily use. Please contact us if you'd like our proprietary organic blend instead.
