Finishes
Each piece is handcrafted and individually finished, resulting in natural variations in color, tone, and grain. Actual finishes may differ slightly from the photos or wood samples shown due to lighting, screen settings, and the unique character of each board. These subtle differences are part of what make every item truly one-of-a-kind.
