Woods & Stains

Choosing the right stain is what transforms a well-built table into a piece that truly belongs in your home. Our custom hardwood game tables are offered in a wide range of premium stain options, each hand-applied to enhance the natural beauty, grain, and character of real hardwood. Whether your space calls for a warm traditional tone or a modern, refined finish, our stain options are designed to complement both everyday dining and elevated game nights.

Red Oak is known for its strength, longevity, and expressive grain pattern. Our six red oak stain options are designed to enhance these natural characteristics while delivering a durable, furniture-grade finish built for both daily dining and extended game nights. Each stain is carefully hand-applied to bring out red oak’s bold grain structure, resulting in a table with visual depth, texture, and lasting performance.

Cherry is valued for its smooth grain, rich undertones, and the way it naturally deepens in color over time. Our four cherry stain options are designed to enhance these qualities while providing a furniture-grade finish suitable for both dining and gaming use. Each stain is hand-applied to highlight cherry’s refined texture, warm color variation, and timeless appeal—resulting in a table that grows more beautiful as it ages.

Hickory a/k/a Pecan, is one of the most durable and visually striking hardwoods available for custom game tables, second only to walnut in our offerings. Known for its exceptional strength, bold grain, and natural character, hickory is an excellent choice for families and entertainers who want a table built to last for generations. Its high density gives it outstanding resistance to dents, wear, and everyday use, making it ideal for both gaming surfaces and removable dining toppers. That same density means hickory game tables and dining toppers will be heavier than those made from many other wood species—a tradeoff many customers gladly accept for the added durability and long-term stability. Our five hickory stain options highlight the wood’s natural beauty while offering a range of tones—from light and modern to rich and dramatic—allowing you to customize your game table to match your home.

Maple is a classic choice for custom game tables thanks to its clean appearance, refined grain, and dependable performance. Known for its subtle beauty and structural stability, maple offers a lighter, more contemporary look while still delivering the durability required for everyday family use and long game nights. This understated grain allows stain colors to appear smoother overall, especially in lighter finishes, and pairs well with both traditional and contemporary interiors. Our four maple stain options range from natural and light to deeper, moodier tones, allowing you to tailor your game table to your space while preserving maple’s signature smooth aesthetic. Because maple has a very tight grain structure, it can absorb darker stains less evenly than lighter colors. While our finishing process minimizes this effect, darker stains may display natural blotching or tonal variation, which is characteristic of maple and part of its authentic hardwood nature.

Crafted from premium mahogany, your high-end game table offers unmatched dimensional stability and a natural, radiant luster that elevates any game room. Available in three rich color finishes, the wood’s fine grain provides a sophisticated, high-polish surface that is as durable as it is beautiful. Invest in a centerpiece prized for its timeless elegance, ensuring your gaming tradition lasts for generations.

Walnut is prized for its rich grain, natural warmth, and timeless appeal. Our three walnut stain options are carefully developed to highlight the beauty of real hardwood while delivering the durability required for everyday dining and extended game nights. Each walnut finish is hand-applied and sealed to protect the wood without masking its natural character—resulting in a table that looks refined, performs exceptionally, and ages beautifully over time.
