Choosing your Wood Type
Choosing your Wood Type
Alder
• Alder is an affordable hardwood with a warm, light tone and
subtle grain, making it versatile for different finishes. Its softness
allows for easy shaping, but it’s more prone to dents and scratches over
time. A lacquer or hard wax finish adds durability and protection
against everyday wear, sealing the surface from moisture while enhancing
its natural beauty. This finish helps extend the life of alder in
high-use areas.
Oak
• Oak is known for its durability and distinct
grain, giving it a timeless appeal. Its hardness makes it ideal for
frequent use, though it can be heavy and may develop a slight yellowing
over time. Applying a lacquer or hard wax finish protects oak from
scratches and spills while enhancing its grain pattern and keeping the
wood from yellowing prematurely. This finish makes oak even more
resilient for busy dining spaces.
Maple
• Maple’s light, smooth
surface and durability make it perfect for modern, sleek dining tables.
It resists scratches and moisture well, though its dense grain can make
it harder to stain. Over time, maple may develop a subtle yellow tint,
but a lacquer or hard wax finish seals the surface, preventing moisture
damage and adding a layer of protection while maintaining its smooth
appearance. This finish also helps guard against long-term wear.
Walnut
•
Walnut’s rich, dark brown color and luxurious grain make it a premium
option for dining tables. Though slightly softer than oak and maple,
it’s still durable and ages beautifully, developing a deep patina. A
lacquer or hard wax finish enhances walnut’s natural grain while
offering protection against scratches, spills, and everyday wear. The
finish preserves its elegant appearance and ensures longevity without
compromising its classic appeal.
