Current core material
Pine
Pine is the material behind most current Wood & Loom pieces. It is warm, practical and well suited to rustic furniture where visible knots, grain and hand-finished texture are part of the character.



Material character
How it feels in furniture
Pine is a softwood with a lively, open grain and natural knots. It takes stain well and gives furniture a relaxed farmhouse feel rather than a formal polished look.
The tree image is included as visual context. The exact species, board selection, colour and grain pattern depend on supplier availability and the timber chosen for the specific order.
