DOOR SPECIFICATION

Our "Heritage of Quality" Begins with the Beauty of Wood
Our cabinet doors begin with the richness of wood, which comes straight from nature. Constructed of many pieces of wood, each door is unique in natural variations of color and grain patterns. Nature's distinction is a part of the beauty and varied richness of all hardwoods. We select only furniture grade hardwoods. Natural woods will vary in color and characteristics, including mineral streaks, pinholes, varied graining and darkening with age.

Wood Species & Characteristics Available

Hard Maple: Hard Maple is a strong, heavy, close-grained wood that is creamy white with a reddish brown cast to the heartwood. Mineral streaks are often found and are not considered defective. Maple possesses a uniform texture and is an excellent choice for lighter colored finishes due to its consistency in color.

Red Oak: Red Oak has a prominent open grain in which the sapwood varies from a whitish or grayish brown to a pale reddish brown, and the heartwood varies from a pink brown to a light reddish brown. Red Oak is an excellent choice for medium to darker finishes.

White Oak: White Oak has an open grain that varies from a whitish light brown sapwood to a grayish dark brown heartwood. White Oak is an excellent choice for medium to darker finishes.

Cherry: Cherry is an elegant hardwood that is a light reddish brown with small gum pockets that produce distinctive markings. The sapwood varies from a whitish color to a light yellowish brown. It is straight grained, strong and rather hard. Cherry is unsurpassed in it's finishing qualities.

Wood Grades

Wood grades apply to the face side of the product only.

Select: Select grade wood will provide an overall close color and grain match for the highest uniform look. Mineral streaks, burls, and pin knots are restricted and few in occurrence. All natural characteristics are controlled in terms of size and frequency. Burls and mineral may be no more than 1/8" wide by 3" long per occurrence. Pin knots must be smooth and no greater than 1/8" in average diameter. Smooth knots are acceptable. Unnatural stains, streaks and spots are not acceptable. Select grade is recommended for all light color finishes.

Regular: Regular grade wood allows a broader range in color and grain pattern variations. Regular grade allows for more natural variations and characteristics found in woods. All natural characteristics of the wood species are acceptable as long as the overall appearance blends together. Regular grade is recommended for medium to darker finishes.

Paint Grade: Paint grade wood is blend of close-grained wood and is non-select for color and grain pattern and may vary considerably. Paint grade is recommended for solid color painting.
