BFA

A love haiku to ELM:

Gazes graze on winding grain
The wind turns slightly
Gold swings like feathers towards you

Considering it for your project? Elm is a dynamic neutral, neither dark nor light, and definitely not too formal. It has a well-pronounced grain pattern, a natural iridescence, and, often, a delightfully irregular shape. The natural hardness checks out between African Mahogany and Cherry.

BFA projects use exclusively sustainably salvaged Elm, kiln-dried for CO. Get in touch to see what the slab selection process looks like for yourself!

We’re spending December in gratitude for the ride-or-dies. The Rudolph to our sleigh is .muffin and his tacklebox of tools. Derrick has been with BFA for 8 years and counting, and his family is ours now, too. Self-described “Nebraska farm boy” turned master finisher, he’s the one behind our signature epoxy resin process, and executes visions never seen anywhere else.

Thank you, Derrick!! 🙏🤍🎵
