MATERIALS

Softwood

DESCRIPTION

White Fir is what we use for our standard softwood. This wood has tons of knicks, knots, cracks and imperfections. We can’t control the amount of knots or imperfections this wood has, as it is a natural part of its nature. These woods are classified as a softwood because they tend to dent and scratch easier than hardwoods (obviously). They also tend to move more throughout seasons, so keeping a consistent humidity in your home will help it last for years to come! Budget friendly, but gorgeous!

Around 40% is great for these types of woods.

Can I place my wet glass on my purchase?

Both finishes we use protect against water, but only to a point. Leaving a cup overnight may leave a ring.

Hardwood

Hardwoods are a generational piece. Although more expensive, it may be the last table you purchase. The wood itself is more scratch and dent resistant which helps keep its natural beauty over time. and is more stable through humidity changes and seasons.

What is the best hardwood?
Tricky answer – White oak is one of the hardest options. Walnut is naturally dark and beautiful. Maple is more budget friendly, but stains amazingly! All have their own unique qualities that make them amazing.

FINISHES

Rubio Monocoat

DESCRIPTION

Rubio Monocoat is a revolutionary wood finish that colors and protects wood in one single layer. It is plant-based and contains 0% VOC. Rubio Monocoat works by forming a molecular bond with the topmost fibers of the wood. This results in a durable, water-resistant finish, all while keeping the natural look and feel of the wood. Rubio Monocoat offers 50 colors, which can be used on both hardwoods and softwoods! Most of our hardwoods receive Rubio Monocoat, but Minwax is also an option as well!
