Maple is a light-colored hardwood prized for its strength, fine grain, and versatility. Its color ranges from creamy white to light reddish-brown, sometimes with darker streaks or a yellowish tint. The grain is usually straight and smooth, occasionally showing subtle curls, giving maple a clean, modern appearance—ideal for minimalist designs. As one of the hardest domestic hardwoods, it’s durable, heavy, and resistant to dents and scratches, making it well-suited for high-use furniture.

Ash is a strong, light-colored hardwood valued for its durability and flexibility, making it ideal for furniture and heavy-use items. Its color ranges from creamy white to pale yellow-brown, sometimes with gray or olive tones, giving it a clean, modern appeal—especially in Scandinavian design. Ash typically has a straight, open grain with occasional waves, creating a subtle rustic look. It finishes to a smooth, matte surface and is often left natural to highlight its texture. While it can be stained darker, its open grain may lead to uneven absorption, requiring extra care.

White oak is another highly regarded hardwood, known for its strength, durability, and classic appearance. It has a lighter, more neutral color compared to walnut, with shades of light to medium brown, often accompanied by a slightly gray or golden undertone. The wood’s grain is typically straight, though it can occasionally have a more wavy or curly pattern, especially when quarter-sawn.

variety of furniture styles.

Spalted Maple is a distinctive hardwood prized for its dramatic visual character. It features dark, irregular lines—called spalting—formed by natural fungal activity, creating bold contrast against its creamy to light brown base. The grain may include streaks, zones, and feathered patterns, giving each piece a one-of-a-kind appearance. Though softer than other maples, it’s often stabilized and finished for use in furniture, accents, and artistic woodwork.

Red oak is a hardwood that offers a balance of affordability, strength, and beauty, making it a popular choice for both traditional and contemporary furniture.

Cherry is a prized hardwood known for its rich reddish-brown color, which deepens over time into a warm, amber hue. It begins with a lighter, golden-red tone and darkens naturally with age and light exposure—one of its most valued traits.

It’s easy to work with, takes stain well, and finishes with a refined, soft luster that enhances its depth and elegance.
