Black Oak Furniture

Our Black Oak furniture starts with the same solid, domestically sourced White Oak we use across our collection. We hand-apply two coats of a water-based black stain, then seal and buff each piece with a beeswax and carnauba paste wax. Black Oak vanities get a water-resistant hardwax oil over the stain instead. The result is a deep, inky black that still shows the grain of every plank.

For years we finished every piece in clear oil, and Black Oak is our first stained finish. We chose a low-VOC, water-based stain from General Finishes for its true black color, and we top it with a food-safe beeswax and carnauba wax.

The Krovel Furniture Co. wood shop was born from a desire to create simple, beautiful, and affordable furniture. We strive to select the finest materials, and we mill, fabricate, and finish each piece in-house.

All of our furniture pieces share a construction method that reveals a "waterfall": a continuous woodgrain that flows down the top and sides. Each piece becomes a one-of-a-kind creation, distinct from monochrome mass-produced items. Every build is hand-finished to show off the character of each plank, whether in the natural tones of our oiled hardwoods or through the deep black of our Black Oak.
