Can the benches be ordered in different wood types, like cedar or ipe?

Ah, the heart of your question touches on one of our favorite topics: character. Just as people have unique personalities, so do woods. The simple answer is a resounding yes! Our benches absolutely love to be dressed in different timber types, including the ruggedly handsome cedar and the supremely steadfast ipe.

Think of cedar as the warm, welcoming friend. It arrives with a beautiful, rich hue and a soothing aromatic scent that naturally resists insects and decay. It's a wood that gracefully weathers to a soft silvery-gray, telling the story of seasons passed. Ipe, on the other hand, is the stoic guardian. Incredibly dense and hard, it boasts a natural resilience that laughs at rain, sun, and time. Its deep, luxurious tones speak of enduring strength.

Choosing between them is a conversation about the story you want your bench to tell. Do you seek a cozy, aromatic nook that mellows with age? Cedar is your soulmate. Or do you desire a timeless, low-maintenance monument that stands unwavering for decades? Ipe awaits your command. Beyond these two, our workshop converses with many other timber personalities—from classic oak to rich walnut. Each piece is more than an order; it's a collaboration. We listen to your vision, consider the bench's future home, and recommend the perfect wood type to ensure it doesn't just sit there, but truly belongs and thrives. So, tell us your tale, and we'll help you select the wood that will live it.
