Wood: We strive to work with reliable suppliers that embrace
responsible milling, using salvaged wood as much as possible.
Our suppliers sell high quality slabs. The big differentiator is

the process they use to cut, dry, and store slabs. Drying times

depend on the wood species. Sometimes, the air-drying times
can be from several months to several years in the slab form.

Once the slabs are properly air-dried, as recommended for
the species, the slabs are kiln-dried (slow kiln drying process)

before they are sold to us.

Steel: Depending on the size/weight of the table we are
building, sometimes we use powder-coated steel construction

for the legs/base.

Resin: We only use EcoPoxy liquid plastic – The Natural
Choice. This epoxy is used by the leading woodworkers,

craftsmen, and artisans in this market. It contains non-toxic
organic compounds or heavy metals. It has low VOC and low

odor. It is extremely durable and it provides excellent color
stability.

Finish: We use oil/wax wood finishes and stabilizers that help

keep the natural look and feel of the wood, while providing a

durable and spill resistant finish.
