THE WOOD:
Cherry is one of the most unique of all woods found in nature. With its fine grain, soft hue and swirling grain, it begins its life a light pinkish color. As it is exposed to sunlight, the wood becomes a deeper and richer red. This process is rather dramatic the first two years and will continue for the life of the piece. Our environmentally friendly, clear and natural finish is applied to bring out the natural beauty of this fine hardwood.

There are many varieties of oaks available for designing furniture. We only use northern red oak, which is grown in the colder climates of North America. Oak grown in these areas has smaller grains, and is considerably more stable and uniform. The hue of this hardwood is a soft reddish, wheat color versus other oaks that cast a harsh grayish, yellow color. It is an extremely strong and durable hardwood with a uniform color and striking grain pattern. Craftsmen have utilized oak for centuries.

Our full veneers are especially selected from plain sliced natural wood veneers. Veneers enable added durability and stain resistance for tables while providing excellent writing surfaces for our home office line.
