The beauty of solid hardwood is on the outside,
but under the surface lies a combination of
strength, flexibility and durability that cannot be
matched by synthetic or engineered substitutes.
The first critical step in producing fine hardwood
furniture is selecting the best, most consistent
woods. We insist on only the finest color and
grain pattern. We then store our lumber in a
humidity-controlled environment to minimize
expansion
and
contraction
during
manufacturing.

THE FINEST WOODS
One characteristic of hardwood tables is that
each plank used is unique. There are natural
variations in color: lighter pieces were closer
to the bark, darker pieces closer to the tree’s
center. At Trailway, we use both variations of
color to give our tables a rich and outstanding
beauty.
The best things in life are the ones that last for years, wear well, fit just
right. Trailway makes all of its dining furniture from solid USA grown
hardwoods, all dining is hand crafted and built with American pride. Good
things happen to people who focus on quality.
You will find natural markings on your table,
such as knots where tree branches grew.
They do not affect strength, and attest to the
fact that your piece is genuine solid
hardwood, with all its charming irregularities.
