We primarily work with domestic hardwoods such as walnut, white oak, cherry, and hard maple. We love highlighting the natural grain and character of the wood, and can source specific or reclaimed lumber upon request.

Yes, we offer local white-glove delivery and installation within a 100-mile radius of our workshop. For clients outside this area, we partner with trusted freight carriers to ensure your piece arrives safely.

Most white water rings are in the wax or finish, not the wood itself. Often, they can be buffed out with a soft cloth. For deeper marks, a light reapplication of wax or a specific wood cleaner can resolve the issue. Always use coasters to protect the surface.
