Furniture Basic Information
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 thefinished heirloom is produced in our shop.

Our finish is not a “processed” finish, but one that is subtly glowing with the warmth of a well patinated antique. The stained finishes enhance the natural beauty of the wood,they do not mask or hide the grain.
