The furniture is made from Red Oak, American Black Cherry, and Hard Rock Maple. Where it is necessary, architectural veneer plywood is used for strength and stability.

Solid wood by nature expands and contracts with the changes in humidity, therefore movement and variations are expected as it adjusts to the environment. Solid wood requires special construction techniques to allow for this expansion and contraction during the year. These techniques enhance the natural beauty and warmth of solid wood, which cannot be duplicated by any manmade or artificial material.

The dimensions listed are taken from the furthest point possible on each furniture piece. Ex. Bookcases are measured from the top edges of the molding. Length x Depth or Width x Height

Red Oak-- One of most popular hardwoods used in furniture production today. Red oak is strong and durable withstanding years of use. This wood is open pored allowing it to be easily stained.

American Black Cherry-- Considered one of the most beautiful types of wood, the American Black Cherry that is used in our production is timbered within close proximity to our facility in Pennsylvania where it is widely recognized to harvest the best American Black Cherry in the country. The rich red patina will enhance as this wood ages rather quickly.

Hard Rock Maple-- Maple is light in color and is one of the strongest hardwoods available. Most cutting boards are manufactured using maple hardwoods because of its strength and durability. Because of its density, maple tends to be harder to stain, and so it is recommended leaving the Hard Rock Maple in its natural color.

These are the primary wood materials we tend to use on almost all our product. However, if you find a project that needs another type of material we can gladly substitute different materials.
