In keeping with tradition, we use the finest, quartersawn white oak for our Arts & Crafts reproductions. By cutting perpendicular to the growth rings, quartersawing enhances the wood's stability, making it finer grained and more resistant to warping.

This technique has an especially serendipitous effect on oak, creating the flecking that is highly prized in furniture of the period. We carefully hand-select each piece of quartersawn oak to fit the aesthetics of each piece of furniture we build.
