8 WAY HAND TIED SPRINGS
All of our pieces are made with high quality hardwood. For Fully upholstered pieces we use 5/4 Alder wood for the frame construction ,For any exposed wood furniture we can use Red and white oak , walnut , ebony, maple and most any other hardwood per request.
Pieces that have any substantial curves or special radius we use both high grade plywood and hardwood , never just ply.
*Although plywood is a great material to use in certain aspects of furniture , we stand by using hardwood for quality high end furniture made to last.
