Premium slabs
& hardwood

Every piece we build starts as a tree with a history. We source ethically from urban and rural hardwoods across the region, then hand-select each slab for the grain, figure and character that make it worth keeping for generations. Here's some of what's in our racks.

01

Claro Walnut (California)

Prized for dramatic color variation and swirling figure — one of the most sought-after slabs for statement tables.

02

Bastogne Walnut

A rare natural hybrid, dense and richly figured, with striking contrast. Exceptional for showpiece dining and boardroom tables.

03

Valley Oak

Broad, characterful grain with real West Coast presence — beautiful in large-format tabletops.

Local Walnut, Oak, Maple & Arbutus

Ethically sourced regional hardwoods, each with its own temperament and grain story.

Chosen for how
you’ll use it.

Durability first, beauty a close second — the finish is one of the three decisions we walk you through before anything is built.

  • Water- and oil-based polyurethane
  • Danish oil
  • Tung oil
  • Odie's oil
  • Resin casting
  • Toning
