About Our Wood

Experts in Northwest Hardwood

Our plant is located in the forests of coastal Oregon, which gives us local access to a wide variety of native Northwest hardwoods. We not only use these species in the wooden parts we make, but we sell what we don't use in the form of milled, low-moisture content boards, strips and blocks. Our familiarity with these species enables us to work with and advise you on the wood that will best meet your needs, and the needs of your customers.

Hardwood comparison

Red Alder
Red Alder is a versatile, dimensionally stable hardwood, ideal for turning and shaping, and able to blend with walnut, mahogany or cherry when stained.

Pacific Coast Maple
Pacific Coast Maple (also known as Bigleaf Maple) is slightly softer than hard maple, making it more dimensionally stable and easier to machine - yet still extremely durable. Finishes very well.

Eastern Maple
Eastern Maple (also called Rock Maple) is slightly harder than Pacific Coast Maple. It is a hard close grained wood that is extremely durable. It is ideally suited for furniture and cabinet work.

Cherry
Cherry is a fine-grained hardwood characterized by a light reddish coloring which changes with time and exposure to light. Used extensively for furniture manufacturing and kitchen cabinetry.
