Beauty of natural wood cabinetry<br />

Knotty Alder<br />

Knotty Alder is a reddish-brown to pale yellow wood with soft, straight grain, even texture, and a subtle<br />

figure. Knotty Alder will have small ¼” closed knots to large 2” open knots appear sporadically throughout<br />

the cabinetry and cabinet components. Knotty Alder plywood will mostly have closed knots of various<br />

sizes.<br />

Beech<br />

Beech is a heavy, pale-colored, medium-to-hard wood. It has a fine, tight grain and large medular<br />

rays, similar in appearance to maple or birch woods. Beech wood has a high shock resistance and<br />

takes stains well.<br />

Birch<br />

Birch wood is fine-grained and pale in colour, often with an attractive satin-like sheen, Birch wood exhibits a<br />

more consistent golden brown color, with little creamy white sap wood and often shows a nice curl pattern.<br />

Cherry<br />

Cherry is an elegant, multi-colored hardwood. Natural or light stains accent these color variations. Small<br />

gum pockets, streaks, pin knots and figures are common. Cherry wood will darken or “mellow” with age.<br />

This mellowing is a natural occurrence and a benefit of owning solid cherry cabinetry.<br />

Hickory<br />

Hickory is a strong, open-grained wood that is known for its flowing grain pattern and dramatic variation<br />

in color. It often contains random pecks, burls and mineral streaks, and it is not uncommon to see doors or<br />

parts of doors that range in color from light to deep brown when finished in light or natural stains. Darker<br />

stains will mildly tone these color variations, but these very characteristics make each hickory kitchen<br />

unique and the preference of those who love wood.<br />

Maple<br />

Hard maple is a strong, close-grained wood that is predominantly off-white in color, although it also<br />

contains light hues of yellow-brown and pink. Hard maple occasionally contains small mineral, light tan or<br />

reddish-tinged streaks. It is usually straight grained, but can be wavy or even curly.<br />

Oak<br />

Red oak has a prominent open grain that ranges in color from white to yellow and reddish-brown. Red oak<br />

is sometimes streaked with green, yellow or black mineral deposits and may vary from a closely knot grain<br />

to a sweeping arch pattern.<br />

Poplar<br />

Comparatively uniform in texture and relatively straight grained, poplar wood is light to medium in weight,<br />

and pale in color, similar to both beech and alder wood.<br />

Thermofoil (RTF) Laminates<br />

Thermofoils in white and soft white are laminated to high density substrate furniture board and detailed for<br />

each style.<br />

Rustic Parawood<br />

Rustic Parawood is a imported renewable hardwood. It has a strong even wood grain and is one of the<br />

most durable hard woods available.
