The Vault
Our rarest boards, set aside one at a time.
What’s inside
Boards that stop us in our tracks.
The Vault holds the boards we can’t bring ourselves to cut without the right project: rare figure, unusual color, or two figures in a single board, like curly ambrosia maple or quilted claro walnut. Every board here is in our shop right now, and every one is one of a kind. Once it becomes someone’s table, it’s gone for good.
