Exotic & Craft Wood
Stock Catalog
Looking for a more tactile experience? Our in-house woodworker creates one-of-a-kind works of art from exotic and craft woods, including Mother of Pearl inlays on select pieces. These works were made without the assistance of CNC equipment! His patterns are hand-cut, oiled, and polished to a sleek sheen. Kevin’s works are never painted; instead, he retains the natural coloring of the wood and makes creative use of the particular features of each species of wood.
