Timber choice shapes the look, durability, and cost of your furniture. Here's a quick guide to the woods we work with.

**Mahogany** is rich, stable, and takes a beautiful finish. It's ideal for statement beds and dining tables that will last generations.

**Acacia** is hard-wearing with a striking, varied grain. We love it for live-edge pieces and contemporary designs.

**Cypress** is lighter and more affordable — perfect for school and institutional furniture where durability matters more than luxury.

**Oak** is dense, classic, and ages beautifully. It's our go-to for heirloom dining tables and premium cabinetry.

Not sure which to choose? Our team will advise based on your space, budget, and how the piece will be used.
