Finish

I have a light mission, a classic mission or a dark mission. The classic mission is my most popular stain and is what I would use unless otherwise requested. The classic stain is a med brown stain with strong orange and golden highlights that really bring out the grain. The light mission is basically a lighter version of this while the dark is more of a reddish walnut color. The quartersawn grain does not stand out as well on the dark stain as it is quite dark. I also offer natural or golden oak if you prefer. I do offer a fumed oak finish as well at additional cost. This is a nice option as it becomes possible to achieve a dark mission stain with vivid grain.The fumed oak option is an additional 50.00 per item. If you still are not sure I would be happy to send you some samples.

Hardware

I have acquired a preference for certain hinges and pulls that I believe work very well with all of my furniture. I am happy to send you photos. I am also happy to use any hardware you may want, have or found somewhere.

Wood Selection

I always take extra care and hand select each and every piece that goes into all of my furniture. I try to use a balanced selection of oak using the most prominently figured stock for the top and most visible areas. I guarantee excellent grain and figure in each and every table. For customers seeking a very high end grade of wood please ask about special orders in wood selection.
