Maple is a native hardwood in Ontario and is widely used for it’s strength and beautiful grain. As Ontario Wood partners, if we purchase wood from a sawmill, we ensure that for every tree that gets cut down, 3 new ones are planted. All of our hardwoods are locally sourced through arborists, private sales, and sawmills.
If you don’t see what you’re looking for, please contact us. We also have access to other hardwoods such as Hard Maple, Elm, Cherry, Ash and more.
Our standard options for hardwood include Maple, Walnut, and Wormy Maple. For more information about the wood options, please refer to the videos on our “Materials” page or contact us. The best way to maintain the wood in your space is to avoid changes in temperature and keep the humidity levels between 40-60%. Wood is a natural material that expands and contracts with changes in temperature and humidity. We also seal all of our furniture on all sides. All of our wood is completely kiln dried to a moisture content of 6-8% and treated for bugs. We offer a variety of species of wood, but the most common options are Maple and Walnut. Since this process does not use the large slabs, the cost is typically much lower. This makes for a very strong and stable top while still achieving the live edge look. Our live edge glue up furniture is made by glueing several boards together and using live edge boards on the very outsides of the panel. We also seal all of our furniture on all sides and often include steel structural support underneath the tables to ensure a nice flat surface. We take all precautions possible to reduce the chances of this happening but since the boards are very wide, it is possible for this to happen. If opting for the urethane finish on live edge tables, please be aware that, although uncommon, cracks can develop and some warping can occur. If you have specific requirements in terms of the style, size, or live edge character please contact us. We offer a variety of species of wood, but the most common options are Maple, Ash and Walnut. It also allows us to make really large tables. The two slabs will be a mirror image of one another and the result is stunning. Depending on the size, we will either find a single slab that fits the size/style required or use two slabs from the same log and glue them together so that the grain matches up. Like a snow-flake, no two pieces are ever the same and the live edges can vary significantly. These slabs are a complete cross section of the tree with the outside bark edges still intact. Our live edge furniture is typically made with either one or two live edge slabs. We take all precautions possible to reduce the chances of this happening but since the reclaimed wood is over 100 years old, it can be unpredictable. If opting for the urethane finish on the reclaimed wood, please be aware that, although uncommon, cracks can develop and some warping can occur.
We will do our absolute best to accommodate your style and design needs, but we do not guarantee a replica of any of our past projects or pictures of products supplied by you. Each and every piece of wood tells it's own story through dents, nail holes, nails, cracks, worm holes, knots, axe cuts, saw marks and the like. Each piece of furniture is specifically manufactured for you after you place an order.ĭue to the nature of reclaimed wood, all of our products vary greatly in character, texture and colour. We use this wood to create unique, one-of-a-kind custom furniture. Lush Woodcraft uses reclaimed wood from old barns and buildings in Ontario.
