Choosing the right Wood : Why it Makes a difference

Not all wood is created equal

Different timbers offer different grains, tones, and
character. 

Some are bold and dramatic. 

Others are subtle and refined.

When creating wooden Quaichs and turned pieces, the choice of timber affects:

  • Appearance
  • Weight
  • Durability
  • How
    the engraving sits
  • The
    overall feel in the hand

Grain pattern matters. Natural variation matters.

The beauty of wood is that no two pieces are ever identical.
That uniqueness becomes part of the story of the finished item.

At Designs by Jacob Manning, Quaich timber is selected not
just for how it looks on a shelf — 

but how it will feel when passed from one
pair of hands to another.

Because this isn’t just about making something beautiful.

It’s about making something worth keeping.

If you see one you like don’t delay to buy as you may not be

the only one that likes the same one,

 it’s only a click away to make one yours.
