“Perfectly Imperfect”
As organic matter, hardwood is inherently unique, with no two pieces bearing the same combination of characteristics. The intricacies of the grain, depth of color, and texture of the surface not only vary from species to species, but within the same type as well, and even the same log.
A tree’s life experiences, along with the soil into which its roots grow, are physically and permanently reflected in the wood’s strength and appearance, transforming would-be flaws and blemishes into symbols of honor and beauty. Knots, wormholes, and splits perpetually emerge throughout the wood’s existence to form a whole greater than their sum, manifesting as metaphors for all forms of life.
Quality Guarantee
Each piece of Created™ Hardwood is hand-selected, air- and kiln-dried, sealed and finished to ensure the highest level of quality and durability. However, a piece of wood never truly “dies”, and variations in temperature and humidity can cause wood to expand and contract. Small splits are not unusual, and sometimes seal themselves with climate cycles. Resin fills are also susceptible to minor cracking and separation as a result of the wood’s movement. These are normal occurrences associated with solid wood furniture, as are dings and dents, and should be considered added character rather than damage.
