Vermont Shaker Bed | White Arrow | Schoolhouse Loft Conversion | Architectural Digest — We worked with Keren and Thomas Richter of White Arrow Studios in support of their 19th century Williamsburg Schoolhouse renovation in Brooklyn. They transformed the top floor into a luxurious loft apartment, rich with period detail (like our Vermont Shaker 4 poster bed).

Selecting a Wood Species

Top Quality Hardwoods include American Cherry, Maple, Walnut, Oak

Vermont Woods Studios fine furniture is handcrafted in Vermont using real solid wood. Each board in your furniture is selected by hand, and inspected for quality, strength, straightness, grain and color. Our furniture makers use wood that comes from North American forests that are harvested sustainably.

Our furniture makers typically work with the following four species of wood: black cherry, sugar maple, red oak and black walnut. We like these species because they are well suited to fine furniture making by virtue of their color, strength, hardness, grain patterns and workability. They are also readily obtainable in our local and regional area, making them a sustainable choice. Often our furniture makers will offer two-tone combinations of these woods creating a custom, artisan look and feel to their work.

If you are looking for a different wood species, give us a call. We will be happy to discuss options and considerations involving the use of other wood species.
