| Materials from our Great American Forests |
We build exclusively with native American timbers;
Cherry, Maple, Oak and Poplar. The premium grade
of lumber we use requires a minimum board width of
eight inches. These boards give the furniture the look
of an antique made from the wide timbers of a virgin
forest. The grain flows in beautiful patterns that don't
exist in furniture made from narrow strips of wood
This premium grade lumber is often not available.
When it is, we buy as much as we can and stockpile
it. In addition to the lumber we buy, we cut timber on
our own land. Recently we selectively harvested
250,000 board feet, mostly Poplar. We use Poplar like
18th century cabinetmakers did, as a secondary wood
for drawer sides, cupboard backs and shelves.
Tempering tradition with practicality, we use birch
plywood in applications where it performs better than
solid wood. These uses include drawer bottoms,
adjustable shelves for entertainment centers, and the
backs of pieces that aren't seen. We also use plywood
in our contemporary designs in which cross grain
construction would cause solid wood to fail.
