Wood Sample

Our standard wood is Forest Standard Certified (FSC) certified ash. We love ash for its strength, color and grain. We also appreciate it as a fast-growing hardwood as this makes it a more rapidly renewable resource over other wood species.

In addition to ash, we also offer the option of American walnut as as well reclaimed Douglas Fir in limited edition pieces, such as our Dish Side Table.

We are open to working with other wood species as long as they can be sourced in a responsible way.

Our standard stain is made of plant-based oil and mineral pigments and uses a benzene-free solvent. The mineral pigments are non-toxic and do not include any heavy metals.

Our standard hardwax-oil finish is made from plant-based oils and wax with a benzene-free solvent. Our finish passes food-grade use safety. Safety data on our stains and finishes are available on request.

We are also open to working with our clients to achieve custom finishes as long as they within our studio’s health and safety boundaries.
