Classic Ash — Honey Stain brings a welcoming, golden-amber tone to restaurant table tops while keeping the wood’s tight, straight grain front and center. Ash delivers oak-level strength at a friendlier price, so you get a refined look that stands up to high traffic without the visual heaviness of darker palettes.We build these wood restaurant tabletops from kiln-dried, full-length, quarter-sawn Ash for stability and a consistent surface. Each top is hand-sanded and sealed on all sides with our durable commercial finish (low-sheen matte) that handles routine cleaning and daily wear. For a feel of color and sheen in real spaces, browse the project gallery; to understand sampling, edge profiles, and pre-drilling, see how we build.

Where Honey Shines

The Honey stain pairs beautifully with black or bronze bases, warm brass accents, and light or medium floors—great when you want a brighter room read with a touch of hospitality warmth. If your concept needs a slightly different mood while keeping the same Classic Line construction, shift the palette: go lighter with Classic Ash — Original, or deepen the tone with Classic Ash — Pecan or the richer Classic Ash — Truffle.

Plan the Roll-Out

We can pre-drill for your table bases, coordinate long runs or banquettes, and match edge profiles to brand standards. For cohesive spaces, carry the finish to bar tops or seat groups at communal tables. When you’re evaluating wood restaurant tables by species and finish family, return to the Restaurant Table Tops hub for a quick side-by-side view.

Tip: Ash takes stain cleanly. If you’re close on color, minor shifts in Honey concentration can fine-tune the balance with flooring or metal finishes.
