Wood Types

We use the best, ethically sourced wood from across the world to make our goods. Every kind of wood has a distinct color, grain pattern, and beauty that provide coziness and flair:

Walnut

This hardwood is known for its deep, dark brown color, making it a top choice for special projects, though it's often expensive and available from specialty stores. Walnut is durable, easy to work with, polishes well, and is easy to maintain.

It's surprisingly used in making guns and luxury cars due to its dense fibers, which can withstand shock and force. It's also popular for making musical instruments like violins and guitars.

 

Olive

Originating from Olea europaea trees in the Mediterranean, olive wood is prized for its appearance, density, straight grain, and fine texture. Despite being hardy and durable, it's also versatile and easy to work with. The olive tree's widespread popularity is attributed to the exquisite fruit it produces with minimal care.

 

Zebra

Recognizable for its striking striping pattern, zebrawood is often used in high-end furniture. It's a hard, heavy wood that can be challenging to work with, historically favored for luxurious items. Its density and hardness make it suitable for items needing resistance to shock and vibration, such as firearms and automobiles.

 

Ebony

Unique for being one of the few completely black woods, ebony is extremely dense, making it ideal for various woodworking and carving projects. It's especially valued in making musical instruments, including guitar fretboards and piano black keys.

 

 

Sandal

Native to regions like China and India, sandalwood is used in high-quality furniture and carvings, while the oil from its heartwood and roots is used in perfumes, incense, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals. The bark's tannin is used for dye.

 

Bamboo

Although technically a grass, bamboo's dense and hard stems allow it to be used in making a variety of items, from garden furniture to hardwood flooring. It thrives in tropical conditions and comes in many varieties. Contrary to some beliefs, bamboo is not soft or easy to work with and shares similar strengths and hardness to some hardwoods like red oak or maple.
