Stains & Finishes
Color Swatches
Every species reads differently under the same stain, so we show the colors on each wood. Below is every species with the stain options available for it, all sealed with 100% zero-VOC, food-safe finishes.
These swatches are digital approximations. Order physical samples to judge true color and grain before you build.

Stains & Finishes FAQ
Common questions about our stain colors and finishes: how they read on different woods, and how to judge true color.
Does the same stain look identical on every wood?
Are your finishes food-safe and durable?
Yes. Every stain is sealed with a 100% VOC-free, food-safe hardwax-oil finish, durable enough for kitchens, commercial bars, and daily use, with a natural matte sheen.
Can I keep the wood natural, without a stain?
Absolutely. Every species can be finished natural to show its raw tone. A few woods, like arctic and black oak, are offered natural only, since their color is the feature.
Are these swatches accurate to the real color?
They’re close digital approximations, but screens vary and wood is a natural material, so real color and grain differ from piece to piece. Order a physical sample to judge true color and figure before you build.
Can you match a specific stain or an existing finish?
Often, yes. Send a photo or the color you’re matching through our Contact page and we’ll advise on the closest stain, or a custom match, before you order.
Do you take on custom or one-off projects?
Yes. Beyond the online builder, we take on custom sizes, oversized pieces, matched commercial runs, and bespoke solid-hardwood millwork. Tell us what you have in mind and we’ll quote it by hand, usually within one business day. Start a custom project ›
