Strength and Durability for Lasting Projects (American Hardwoods)
Beyond aesthetics, American hardwoods are prized for sustainability, strength and durability. Specifically, species like oak and hickory are known for exceptional hardness and resist wear. Therefore, this makes them ideal for high-traffic areas and structural uses. Moreover, other hardwoods, like cherry and walnut, are slightly softer but still offer excellent strength and stability. As a result, this ensures your projects last. This inherent durability also makes them a sustainable choice. In fact, projects built with these materials last for generations.

People who have used American Hardwoods in the projects
“I have used American Oak for years and it is generally of very good and consistent quality; straight lengths, good grain, fewer knot features etc.”
“For most furniture I favour White Oak over the Red Oak.”
“In general I find American White Oak good to work with, but I do notice that edges tend to be somewhat brittle, so you really have to knock off the arrisses.”
Architect James Biber specified American white oak for decking because “it is strong, hard and has good machining properties”
Designer Øfstedal Eng, working with American Maple, said the material was “physically challenging” to work with, especially with hand carving and sanding, but added, “American Maple is a beautiful wood and I would definitely work with it again”
Another designer, Young, used hard maple for a cabinet, explaining, “It’s such a pared-back timber… It has a gentle grain structure and I thought the lightness would soften the heaviness of my piece’s form”.
Designer Wang Yunhan favors American hardwood, particularly Walnut, for its “good quality” and “beautiful texture”.
A DIY blogger described American Walnut as “dark, handsome, classy, and a downright joy to cut, shape, sand and finish into a wonderful project” . However, they also noted that “even the best grade of walnut comes with appearance flaws and defects” and requires more careful arrangement due to variations in color and grain.
Another designer, Wong, chose American cherry “because of its grain and colour… It has a beautiful warmth in its pinkish, red hue”.
