The examples below illustrate the variety of grain patterns in wood. Each displays a variation of grain beginning with a more relaxed, expanded grain on the far left and gradually working across the spectrum ending with a tightly packed, compact grain example on the far right. Grain patterns sometimes give wood a dramatic appearance, and adding different stains will accentuate these grain patterns to varying degrees.

Each tree has its own distinct grain. As a result, we offer woods with a variety of different patterns. Most woods offered feature a fairly straight grain. A few varieties feature curly or wavy grain. Appearances vary based on types of wood. Grain types can determine how a piece of wood is milled. We are experienced in working with woods of all different grain patterns.
