Unless otherwise requested or specified, we finish all of our wood pieces with a low VOC water-based clear coat by Behr. Other finishes including Rubio Monocoat, Osmo, Pre-Catalyzed finishes and more are available upon request, but may be subject to an additional fee.

Ash Lumber

Ash is a native hardwood species to the US, and shares a very similar grain pattern to White Oak, however it’s naturally much whiter and doesn’t have the same yellow/gold undertones White Oak has. It’s also a fraction of the cost of Oak.

Beech Wood Lumber

European Beech is one of the most cost effective hardwoods on the market, and has a naturally light pine color with a subtle salmon colored undertone. Because of it’s naturally light color, it acts as a wonderful blank canvas that can accept stains to achieve a wide variety of different colors. It’s grain pattern is relatively relaxed and not very busy, allowing it to peacefully coexist in environments with other wood types. If you’re looking for durability on a budget, Beech is a great option.

Hickory Lumber

Hickory is one of the hardest and most dense hardwoods commonly used in furniture fabrication and architectural finishes. It often has a two-tone appearance with lighter tones near the edges of planks and a beautiful subtle red striping down the center of planks.

Mahogany Lumber

Our FSC Certified Mahogany is our go-to for outdoor applications. Sustainably harvested from countries around the world, this tropical hardwood is naturally resistant to bugs, moisture, and rot. It’s also extremely cost effective and is a suitable alternative to Teak and Ipe for outdoor applications.

Reclaimed Douglas Fir

Our classic reclaimed lumber option. Reclaimed Douglas Fir is not a hardwood, so it may continue to gently dent and ding over time much like a living finish. It is a structural lumber used to frame homes across the country, so it’s certainly a strong option. Douglas Fir tends to have a busy and dramatic grain pattern full of linear and hook and loop patterns. This grain pattern affects how it accepts stain, which can often lead to a two-tone look. All of our reclaimed Douglas Fir is gently removed from buildings that are being demolished throughout the State of California.

White Oak Lumber

A classic, timeless hardwood. Known for it’s durability and strength over time, White Oak has been a staple in furniture fabrication and architecture for decades. White Oak has a very distinct and busy grain pattern. It’s naturally light with subtle yellow/gold undertones, but stains to achieve a wide variety of different colors.
