PICK YOUR HARDWOOD.
Rhodesian Teak
Teak is one of the world’s most renowned and sought-after hardwoods, valued for its beauty, durability, and natural weather resistance. Its heartwood displays a light to medium brown tone, often enriched with hints of muted gold or pale red. Over time, teak deepens in colour, developing a richer, more luxurious patina.
Oak
Oak is one of the most versatile and sought-after hardwoods in bespoke furniture making, admired for its timeless grain patterns and exceptional durability. Its natural colour ranges from light golden brown to a warm, honeyed tone, with prominent grain lines that add depth and character to any piece.
Kiaat
Kiaat, closely related to African Padauk, shares its outstanding qualities of durability, stability, and exceptional workability. This African hardwood is prized for its resistance to movement and ease of shaping, making it a favourite for both structural and decorative furniture.
Ash European
European Ash is visually similar to American Ash, but it is often found in wider boards and has a whiter, clearer appearance. This clean, refined look makes it ideal for countertops, cabinetry, and interior design elements where a fresh, light aesthetic is desired.
American Ash
American Ash features a generally straight grain with a coarse, uniform texture. Its light, natural colour pairs beautifully with its excellent workability, making it a favourite among craftsmen. Thanks to its easy machining and superior finishing qualities, American Ash is a versatile choice for a wide range of practical and decorative applications, from everyday utility pieces to finely crafted bespoke furniture.
Iroko
Iroko is a durable, long-lasting hardwood known for its golden to medium-brown tones, coarse texture, and interlocked grain pattern that closely resembles teak, yet is notably lighter in density. Its strength and resilience make it ideal for furniture that must withstand years of use, while its workable nature allows it to be shaped, glued, and finished beautifully.
Black Ofram
Ofram stands out for its distinctive pale base colour, which can range from soft yellow to light golden brown or pale tan. Occasionally, it takes on a muted greyish hue, creating a subtle, understated look. Dark brown or black overlapping highlights often run through the grain, adding depth and visual interest to each piece.
American Walnut
American Walnut is treasured for its deep, rich chocolate hues, often enhanced by warm red or purple undertones. With its typically straight (and occasionally irregular) grain, fine texture, and natural sheen, American Walnut brings elegance and timeless character to bespoke furniture, making it a preferred choice for statement pieces.
