When you’re investing in a custom table, one of the biggest decisions is the type of wood. At Backyard Resin, we work exclusively with two of the most trusted and beautiful hardwoods—walnut and maple. Why only these two? It lets us buy in volume from trusted local suppliers, which means better pricing and consistency for our clients across Gatineau and Ottawa.
Why Walnut?
Walnut is a showstopper. Its rich chocolate tones, dramatic grain patterns, and luxurious feel make it ideal for bold, statement pieces. We love pairing walnut with darker resins for a sophisticated edge.
Why Maple?
Maple is light, smooth, and versatile. It’s perfect for modern, minimal interiors and makes resin colors pop. Maple takes stain beautifully and holds up to everyday life like a champ.
Fewer Options, Better Quality
By focusing on walnut and maple, we’re able to source premium-grade slabs, reduce waste, and streamline the design process. It’s a win-win for you and for our team of local woodworkers.
