Common Questions, Answered Gently
“Is face grain less durable than edge grain?”
Face grain is better for light to moderate-use areas — perfect for vanities, coffee counters, feature panels, or non-prep kitchen surfaces. If you need more impact resistance, see our edge or end grain options.
“How does it age?”
Beautifully. It deepens to a richer red-brown over time with exposure to light, gaining character as it matures.
“What makes this worth it?”
It’s the easiest way to bring real wood warmth into your home — with no finishing required, and no need to compromise on quality or budget.
