Furniture Woods
Illustrated below is a collection of
unfinished wood samples. The Domestic Hardwoods shown represent
species commonly used for furniture making in the Upper Midwest and many
other parts of the US.
In addition to these there are many others less commonly used and still
others from outside our region. The Imported Hardwoods specimens show
the widely varied palette of colors available in these more exotic
species. In addition to species, the
appearance of wood is also affected by the age of the tree at harvest, the
orientation of cutting relative to the tree’s cellular structure, exposure to
air and light, and the use of finishing materials.
