Red Oak
Red Oak is an extremely strong, tough wood that has a pronounced open
grain. It has a slight orange or reddish hue. This is the wood you want
if you love a warm look.
Quarter Sawn White Oak
Quarter-sawn means cutting into the log at a 90-degree angle to the
growth rings which gives it a special grain pattern. If you love a lot
of grain in your table quarter sawn is for you. The White Oak has a
cooler white to sage undertone.
Cherry
Cherry is a hard durable wood that has a reddish-brown tone with a
tight, straight grain that becomes darker and richer as it ages. This is
preferred by folks that want a slight but elegant grain.
Rustic Cherry
Rustic cherry is merely a more unrefined wood then the traditional
cherry wood. Most builders will cut the wood in such a way that the
amount of pits, sap wood, and knots are minimized. In Rustic Cherry
those natural characteristics of Cherry are accentuated. Color ranges
from white, brown to deep red with brown flecks.
Maple
Maple is the hardest domestic wood that we have here in the US. It is
used extensively in furniture making because of its fine texture and
durability. Maple is basically cream or ivory in color with minimal
grain. This wood captures light and brightens space.
Brown Maple
Brown Maple combines the browns, tans, whites and creams to give a
rustic feel. Because it is a softer hardwood staining it a light color,
makes the stain appear blotchy. This wood is great for staining medium
to dark colors or painting.
Hickory
The contrasting reddish and cream colors make Hickory a beautiful
wood for furniture. It has a medium grain that gives the feel earthy but
with a smooth look.
Rustic Hickory
Rustic Hickory, much like Rustic Cherry, is a more unrefined wood
than Hickory. You can really see a stark contrast between the sap wood
and center wood.
Walnut
Walnut is a rich chocolate or purplish brown in color with hints of
grey, black and even dark blue. It has a beautiful grain pattern and is
the only dark brown domestic hardwood. Over time is will take on a bit
of a golden brown color, but it is very slight and mostly unnoticeable.
Walnut isn’t as hard red oak or maple but it is harder than cherry.
