About Our Wood
We take great care to grain and color match, so your
parts look uniform in relation to one another. |
|
Below are samples of the unfinished wood types we sell.
Please keep in mind that because monitor color can vary
widely, the images shown are for quick reference only. |
 |
 |
|
Cherry |
We don’t hand select for sap-free wood, but guarantee 25% or less sap per leg. This allows
you to, in most cases, turn the sap “to the
inside” so it doesn’t show |
|
 |
|
Soft Maple |
| Very hard. The economical hardwood choice. Readily accepts paint. Color is creamy to whitish, taking on a golden hue as it ages. |
|
 |
|
Red Oak |
Very dense with reddish and golden tones.
Accepts stain beautifully. Porous grain must
be filled before painting. |
|
 |
|
White Pine |
| Soft wood, best value. Creamy color with prominent knots, which can bleed through paint finishes. Maple might be a better choice for painting & for high-use durability. |
|
 |
|
Alder |
A popular hardwood very similar to cherry,
but not as dense. Some pin knots. |
|
 |
|
African Mahogany |
| Variable color from yellowish to lustrous red. Accepts stain well. |
|
 |
|
Black Walnut |
| Heartwood varies from lightest brown to deep chocolate. Sapwood is whitish to yellowish brown. Common practice is to stain sapwood to match heartwood. Open grain may require filling before staining. |
|
 |
|
Tiger Maple |
| Decorative ribbon-stripe figure is rare and highly prized. Available in limited quantities. |
