Tiger Maple, Birdseye Maple,American Black Cherry, and Mahogany are
the woods of choice for our furniture.We begin with rough lumber and every part of the
finished heirloom is produced in our shop.
Our furniture is constructed entirely in solid wood

of each piece is ultimately dependent upon the finish. Furniture is available in a Hand Rubbed Natural Oil Finish, a Hand Rubbed Natural Lacquer Finish, a variety of hand painted decorations and faux finishes, and a Hand Rubbed Stained and Lacquered Finish.
