Wood and Stain
Wood has many natural and distinctive characteristics. As wood is a natural product each board has its own unique growth pattern. This means that no two trees will look the same and there will be varying wood grain and patterns with each piece of furniture. Each board will have slight variation in colour depending on how the wood absorbs the stain colour. This is not considered a defect as it does not affect the structural integrity of the wood.
Wormy maple also comes from maple trees, but trees that have been infested by the ambrosia beetle. This small beetle bores a network of tunnels and short galleries called cradles. These cradles appear as small holes in the wormy maple wood. There will also be black and grey streaks that accompany each tunnel and adjacent wood, a fungus is responsible for this. The holes and streaks add a unique look to the wood without affecting its structural integrity and as the wood is kiln dried, it will contain no beetles.
Disclaimer: the finisher is NOT responsible for variation from the sample. Although these sample photos are taken by professional photographers; we still find that there is variation depending on the screen / settings used to view the samples. We strive to ensure stains are as close to the samples as possible, however, there still may be variation due to the natural grain in wood. We are not responsible for the dissimilarity of the sample shown on your screen compared to our samples here at the showroom. We recommend coming into the showroom to see the samples, in person, to avoid disappointment.
Oak (Red Oak): oak wood comes from an oak tree, which consists of sapwood and heartwood. The sapwood tends to be a light brown colour while the heartwood is a pinkish reddish brown. Oak does have more of a coarse grain than maple wood.
QcOak (Quarter Sawn Oak): quarter sawn oak wood comes from an oak tree. The difference between the quarter sawn oak and oak is the angle in which the wood is cut. When cutting quarter sawn oak, the quarter log is mounted on the table so that the growth rings hit the blade at right angles. The quarter slicing cut produces a straight grain effect as well as a flake pattern.
