Wood Selections
Renaissance begins your conservatory by hand-selecting timbers from premium grades of specialty lumber.
The woods we use are renowned for their striking beauty, unique character, outstanding strength, dimensional stability, and unsurpassed durability.
The natural splendor is further enhanced as the wood is carefully shaped by the skilled hands of our Lancaster County craftsmen in-keeping with time-honored traditions of custom cabinetmaking and fine woodworking.
We will consider our work to be finished when our creative talents and craftsmanship have transformed one of Nature's magnificant creations into a beautiful and enduring fulfillment of your needs.
Samples
Genuine Mahogany (Caoba)
Swietenia Macrophylla
Normally reserved for fine furniture, cabinetmaking, boat building, and musical instruments, Honduras Mahogany commands a premium cost but can return the most beautiful naturally-finished Conservatory imaginable.
Spanish Cedar (Cedro)
Cedrela Odorata
A tropical South American mahogany, Cedro is one of the finest all-around woods for Conservatory construction. It is dense, dry, dimensionally stable and is highly resistant to rot and vermon. Cedro is also remarkably beautiful with a natural finish and holds stain or paint exceptionally well.
Western Red Cedar
Thuja Plicata
Western Red Cedar has long been a favored choice for Greenhouse and Conservatory construction, due in part to its availability, clear blond complexion, and high durability. Though softer than the Mahoganies, Western Red Cedar is the wood of choice when only a natural Cedar look will do.
California Redwood
Sequoia Sempervirens
For dimensional stability, durability, ease of finish and uncommon beauty, Redwood is perhaps the finest. We select from the best grades commercially available; both All Heart and Better; and B and Better Select.
SPF
(Engelmann Spruce, White Pine, Douglas Fir-Larch, Hem-Fir)
For dimensional stability, durability, ease of finish and uncommon beauty, Redwood is perhaps the finest. We select from the best grades commercially available; both All Heart and Better; and B and Better Select.
