Materials & Finishes

Chosen for inherent beauty and enduring quality

Material selection shapes character and longevity. We work with solid hardwoods, natural stone, and metals that age gracefully, developing patina and depth over time.

Hardwoods

We work primarily with North American hardwoods selected for their grain structure, workability, and dimensional stability.

Walnut

Rich chocolate tones with varied grain patterns. Moderately heavy with excellent machining qualities.

White Oak

Light neutral color with prominent ray fleck figuring. Dense and durable with natural resistance to moisture.

Cherry

Warm reddish-brown that deepens with age. Fine, uniform texture with excellent finishing characteristics.

Maple

Pale cream color with subtle grain. Hard and dense, ideal for surfaces requiring durability.

Stone

Natural stone brings weight and permanence to furniture pieces. We incorporate marble, granite, and soapstone for table surfaces and accent details.

Marble

Classic elegance with natural veining. Each slab unique in pattern and color variation.

Granite

Extremely durable with speckled appearance. Resistant to heat and scratching.

Soapstone

Smooth matte finish that darkens naturally. Tactile warmth and subtle character.

Metals

Hardware and structural accents in brass, steel, and bronze. Finishes range from polished to patinated, selected to complement wood tones.

Brass

Warm golden tone that develops natural patina. Used for handles, hinges, and inlay details.

Steel

Clean modern aesthetic in brushed or blackened finishes. Structural strength for bases and frames.

Bronze

Living finish that evolves with handling. Rich depth for accent elements and hardware.

Finishes

Hand-applied finishes protect wood while enhancing its natural character. We use oils, waxes, and lacquers selected for each species and application.

Natural Oil

Penetrating finish that highlights grain and texture. Develops warm patina with use. Requires periodic maintenance.

Hard Wax Oil

Durable matte finish that resists moisture and wear. Combines oil penetration with surface protection.

Conversion Varnish

Professional-grade protective coating. Offers maximum durability while maintaining wood clarity.

Lacquer

Traditional finish with subtle sheen. Smooth surface ideal for frequently touched pieces.
