How to Re-Oil Your Furniture in One Afternoon
A hardwax-oil finish is the easiest to live with. Here's the simple ritual to bring tired wood back to life — no professional required.
Read More →Each piece is cut from responsibly sourced hardwood and joined by hand in our workshop — no veneers, no particleboard, no shortcuts. Just timber that gets better with every year.
Grove & Grain started in 2016 in a drafty barn workshop in the Hudson Valley, with two chisels, a secondhand lathe, and a stubborn belief that furniture should last longer than the people who buy it.
We work only in solid hardwood — white oak, black walnut, ash, and cherry — sourced from FSC-certified forests within a day's drive. Every joint is cut with traditional mortise-and-tenon or dovetail joinery, then finished with plant-based hardwax oils that you can refresh at home, not a factory.
No flat-pack cams. No hidden staples. Just honest pieces that patina beautifully and can be repaired, refinished, and handed down.
A tight, considered range — each piece designed to earn its place and age with grace.
Six promises we build into every piece, whether you'll ever notice them or not.
No veneers or MDF anywhere — every surface, leg, and panel is full-thickness kiln-dried hardwood.
Mortise-and-tenon and dovetail joints, cut by our makers. Stronger than screws and beautiful up close.
Sourced from responsibly managed North-American forests, within a day's drive of the workshop.
Plant-based hardwax oils — food-safe, low-VOC, and refreshable at home with a cloth and an afternoon.
Delivered fully assembled and placed in your room. No flat-pack, no Allen keys, no stray dowels.
We stand behind the joinery for a quarter century — and repair, not replace, whenever we can.
Real notes from people living with their pieces every day.
"We bought the Brookline dining table for our first home and honestly plan to be buried with it. Three years, two toddlers, countless spills — it just develops more character. The oil finish means I sand out the odd scratch myself in ten minutes."
"The Aldwin lounge chair is the single best furniture purchase I've made. You can feel the difference the moment you sit — no wobble, no creak, just solid walnut. White-glove delivery carried it up four flights without a word of complaint."
"We furnished a small boutique hotel entirely with Grove & Grain. Guests ask about the pieces constantly. They survive daily use, look better each season, and the team helped us spec custom sizes for tricky rooms. Worth every cent."

The workshop is open to visitors by appointment. Come see a piece take shape and feel the joinery for yourself.
Nice choice — that one ages beautifully.
