AVAILABLE woods

Picture
Black Walnut
-Used for all furniture components, dark heartwood set off by white sapwood.  Usually only the heartwood is used, but I often utilize both to create a two tone look.

Picture
Oak 
- Used for most components.  Beautiful grain with an open structure and rich color.  Classic choice for any piece.

Picture
Maple
-Used for chair legs and spindles.  Limited availability for table tops and other components.  Clean white wood, with a closed grain.
Picture
Ash
-Used in the same way as maple with a similar appearance, except that it has an open grain.
Picture
Cherry
-Red heartwood and white sap wood.  Very warm appearance.  Cherry darkens with age, so new pieces may not match your collection.  Can be used to make any and all components.  
Specialty 
-I keep an eye out for interesting woods with unique characteristics like a figured grain or spalted coloration.  Availability is very limited but I usually have something cool in the stack.
