About the Charred Ember finish
This Heirloom Round Expandable Dining Table is finished in Charred Ember on Alder. An intense, near-black brown that anchors a space with dramatic elegance. Its depth creates a sophisticated statement.
- Wood: Solid knotty alder sourced from the Pacific Northwest, the wood behind about 95% of our pieces. Its grain and natural knots stay visible under the stain.
- Finish: hand-applied stain sealed with a polyurethane topcoat that helps protect against water, stains and scratches.
- Character: grain, knots and color variation are part of solid wood and make every piece its own. Knots on top surfaces are filled.
