Cherry
The warm elegance of Cherry darkens considerably as it ages. Cherry’s fine grain often exhibits swirls and a flowing random pattern. It’s color varies from nearly white to dark reddish brown.
Shown here in Cherry Chestnut.
Hickory
A heavy, dense wood, hickory displays vibrant grain patterns and wide color variation. Lighter stains make this natural variation the most evident, while darker stains tend to mute it. Also available in rustic hickory.
Maple
Maple has a fine, uniform grain pattern, and tends toward lighter colorations. Like all woods, maple will darken with age, but to a lesser degree than cherry. Maple takes on a subtle mottled appearance when finished in the darker stains.
Quartersawn White Oak
The more costly quartersawing method yields materials with distinctive grain and superior stability.
Red Oak
This time-honored favorite features warm tones and has a prominent, distinctive grain character that shows tiny rays and flowing patterns. Red oak is very hard, giving it a high shock resistance.
