Available Woods
Maple
Cherry
The colour of this wood will naturally deepen with age and exposure. A fine uniform grain with a smooth texture are its characteristics. Often the lumber will have small flecks and gum pockets which add to the visual interest of this hardwood.
Wormy Maple
This Maple is recognizable by its distinctive character of bluish tinged streaking and pinholes which lend a rustic look. The markings are a result of the Ambrosia beetle which bores its way through the trees leaving the wood with the markings. The structural hardness and integrity of the wood is unaffected; it is solely a visual result.
Oak
Often thought to be the hardest of the woods, it is in fact softer than the denser Maple varietal. Oak is predictable to work with. When it’s cut, it doesn’t twist or split, and there is less wastage. Oak is slower growing, so there is less tension in the wood. Oak furniture is often known for it`s very traditional furniture, such as Mission or Shaker styles, and Quarter Sawn.
