At KMR WoodWorks, we understand that the table top is the focus of any dining table, setting the tone for the entire piece. That’s why we offer a diverse range of table top options, each with its own unique characteristics and charm.

Smooth Tabletops

Red Oak/Oak

Our go-to wood! Sturdy and reliable, with tons of stain options to match your style. Oak has a classic grain pattern that’s easy to spot, making it a timeless and durable option. 

Hickory

Tough as nails! Hickory is one of the hardest American hardwoods. With its distinct color variations and natural imperfections, a hickory table top will bring plenty of character to your dining area. Renowned for its strength, hickory ensures longevity and resilience.

Walnut

Known for its rich, dark tones and exceptional durability, walnut is a premium choice for those looking to make a statement. Its smooth texture, tight grain, and natural luster give walnut an elegant and sophisticated appearance.
