MATERIALS & FINISHES
Wood & Finish Options
Every table begins with the wood. Choose your species, then your finish — each combination produces a distinct character that ages beautifully for generations.
SPECIES
Black Walnut
Rich chocolate-brown hardwood with dramatic grain patterns. One of North America’s most prized furniture woods — naturally dark, heavy, and deeply characterful.
Clear Finish
Rubio Monocoat hard wax oil. Enhances the natural walnut tone while protecting the surface. The grain and color remain true.
Rubio Black
Deep carbon black over walnut. The grain disappears into darkness — a surface that reads almost like stone.
SPECIES
Hard Maple
Creamy, pale hardwood with fine consistent grain. Dense, durable, and exceptionally smooth. Finished in clear polyurethane.
Clear Poly
Satin clear polyurethane — the only finish we offer in maple. Its pale color and tight grain work beautifully with a simple protective coat.
SPECIES
Red Oak
Bold, open grain with warm pink-brown tones. Available in natural or dramatically stained options.
Clear Finish
Rubio Monocoat. The warm pink undertones of Red Oak come forward — honest and beautiful.
Jet Black
Ebonized stain with hard wax top coat. The grain reads through the black — bold and modern.
SPECIES
White Oak
Our most versatile species. Tighter grain than Red Oak, warmer than Maple. Available in four finishes.
Clear Finish
Rubio Monocoat. White Oak in its natural state — golden, warm, and quietly elegant.
Cotton White
Rubio Monocoat Cotton White. Bleached, Scandinavian-style — pale and airy.
Rubio Black
Rubio Monocoat Black. White Oak takes the black finish with exceptional uniformity — sophisticated.
Rubio Natural
Rubio Monocoat Natural. Slightly warmer than clear — enhances natural character without changing color.
About Rubio Monocoat
All our finishes (except Hard Maple) use Rubio Monocoat hard wax oil — a Belgian-engineered finish that bonds molecularly to wood fibers. Food-safe, repairable, and produces a matte sheen that reveals the true nature of the wood.
Hard Maple Exception
Hard Maple is finished in satin clear polyurethane. Its tight grain and pale color work better with this protective coat. All other species use Rubio Monocoat.
