Woods we use
Walnut
American Black walnut, the most common "dark" wood used in our pieces, (and likely most sought after species in american woodworking) is largely found in the eastern US. Known for its durability and beautiful dark grain patterns, we use walnut as much as we can, and are super lucky to have it literally growing in our backyard.
Maple
Maple, the lightest color wood we use in our work, is most commonly grown in the Northeastern part of the US. Also known for its beautiful grain pattern, Maple is "blond" or light brown in apperance and extremely durable,. Look at any college basketball court, and you'll see the very same maple we use in our work!
Purpleheart
Purpleheart is awesome., This is one of the few imported woods we will use, because it just looks so damn good. Deep purple in color, this hardwood is a great accent color and even more durable than its domestic counterparts. The only issue... it ain't cheap. Pieces that include it will likely be a little pricier than other options, but like prince said, "I like to open peoples eyes"
Ambrosia Maple
Ambrosia Maple is very unique in the woodworking game. When selecting lumber for furniture, cabinetry (or anything else really), fewer imperfections are always preferred. In Ambrosia Maple, The coloring and patterns only appear because the tree was "imperfect". Small beetles infest the heart-wood leaving a gray/dark brown discoloration in their wake. There is something poetic about this wood and it's origin ... the imperfection is the allure.
Cherry
American Cherry, largely found in the southeastern region of the US, is the classic golden brown hardwood you see in high end cabinetry and furniture. Resilient and rich in color, cherry is our go to when we need more depth and texture in our pieces. George Washington would be proud that we're using his lumber.
