Quartersawn white oak is favored because of its dimensional stability; it is less likely to crack, check, or warp due to the method of cutting. Quartersawn oak also produces ray flake, a distinctive patterning in the wood. Different in every piece of wood, ray flake patterns are a prized feature of quartersawn oak and make each piece of furniture unique.
American Black Cherry naturally has a broad spectrum of color and grain. At Stickley, craftsmen blend the shades and grain of cherry to create a balance on each piece, but there will be variations visible. Like fine wine, cherry wood mellows and deepens in color with age, developing a rich patina over time. This natural phenomenon makes each piece of cherry furniture a unique work of art.
Stickley finishes are hand applied in multiple layers of color and lacquer, achieving a unique clarity seldom seen in furniture today. Our finishes ensure that every detail of the wood grain is not only visible but beautifully enhanced.
The final step is a careful hand-rubbing process, creating the perfect sheen. No dipping. No conveyor belts. A Stickley finish completes your furniture’s unique “hands-on” construction.
