We stock our most frequently used woods (walnut, oak, maple) and are able to source and work with most domestic and exotic wood species. Call us to discuss your options. We offer green options such as repurposed Antique Heart Pine and Antique Chestnut from aged homes and barns. We also offer fast-growth woods such as Lyptus and Bamboo. We do not offer stain options on our Edge-Grain products.

When possible we prefer to build full thickness tops to ensure the stability of the top; it's also more cost effective since it is labor intensive to build up the edge.
