About the Harvest Wheat finish
This Farmhouse Bench is finished in Harvest Wheat on Alder. A golden, honeyed tone that feels effortlessly luminous. Light and inviting, it subtly brightens interiors with a natural feel.
- 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.
- See it first: stain looks different in every room's light, so we recommend ordering a sample before you decide.
