Wood Species:
CHERRY
Cherry is one of my favorite species of wood to work with a smooth-grained reddish-brown hardwood that comes from the American Black Cherry fruit tree. It is readily available in large timbers and machines very well. In its fresh state has a reddish/pinkish hue. What many people love is cherry’s aging process; as the wood is exposed to light cherry will naturally darken over time to a deep reddish hue with a deep patina. The grain varies from very straight to figured such as curly cherry or crotch can be used for elements such as a drawer front.
WALNUT
Black walnut wood is dark, hard, dense and tight-grained. It has superior strength, beautiful grain and rich color. In its raw unfinished form it is a mid toned chocolate color and with finish and age it develops a rich patina. The sapwood, a creamy white is often used as an accent or even featured in large planks on tabletops to celebrate the natural variations of wood. Walnut was often stained and heavily varnished so that it lost its rich tones and was seen as a dark heavy wood. Today woodworkers value its beautiful grain and figure and don’t darken it anymore.
MAPLE
Maple wood is very strong, with smooth and subtle grain structure and light, creamy color. There are many of species of maple trees available in the Northeast; the most common is Hard Maple (aka Sugar Maple). I work with other variations of maple such as curly, tiger, or birdseye as accents for legs, drawer fronts, and knobs. Slight staining can be used to pop the grain but usually a good quality varnish will accentuate the grain on it’s own.
MAHOGANY
Mahogany was used in many historic english furniture pieces, valued for is rich reddish-brown tones and straight grain. It is known for its workability, mahogany is equally known for its superb dimensional stability and good rot resistance. It was often stained or heavily varnished so it lost its true color and was also over harvested leading to heavy regulation in “real” mahogany today.
The bench can be designed and crafted in any length or basket configuration that you need. The wood species can be cherry (as shown) or walnut, oak, maple or mahogany.
