Tom Cyprych Furniture

here exist many species of wood. Only a handful, however, are used in Tom Cyprych Furniture. This is due wholly to availability.

ince Tom does not mass produce furniture, he must purchase wood on an as-needed basis. That is, wood is generally purchased from a saw mill only after it is known what type(s) of wood will be needed for a given project. This feature adds to the truly made-to-order nature of Tom's furniture. Any piece can be made from any of the following woods (links open new window):
American Black Walnut Aromatic Red Cedar Basswood Black Cherry Eastern White Pine Hard Maple (Sugar Maple) Poplar Red Oak White Oak Yellow Birch
hese woods are readily available from sawmills in the Western PA/Eastern OH/Northern WV area, and as such any of these breeds may be used for any piece of furniture that Tom builds. could try to describe these woods, but I wouldn't do them justice, especially given a really great web site that does just this, entitled the Wood Is Good Library. To view a very detailed description of any of the woods listed above, just click on the species name and a new browser window will open with the Wood Is Good description of that species.
