Choose from the following wood species to view door styles and finishes:
Maple hardwoods are selected for their smooth texture, uniform grain and characteristic light color. Maple is predominantly a creamy white color and may exhibit little color variation from white to a light gray or tan. Maple will exhibit random mineral streaks. These dark streaks are mineral deposits absorbed from the soil in which the tree grew and are a naturally occurring variation. Worm tracks and occasional birds-eye patterns are also characteristic. Maple will slightly mellow with age due to natural exposure to light and air. Due to the density and hardness of Maple, natural expansion and contraction may be more apparent at joints than with softer hardwoods. Maple is a hard, strong wood with excellent shock resistance.
Natural Yellow Birch hardwoods are chosen for their dramatic color variation and usually smooth grain. Birch hardwoods will exhibit dramatic color variation from a creamy color to a medium brown. Characteristics such as shiny burl wood, grain variation, small pin knots and mineral stains may also be present. Birch should not be chosen as an alternative to Maple - although the two wood species may sometimes be similar in texture, Birch hardwoods will exhibit dramatic color and shade variation. Although Birch is relatively light in weight, it is hard and strong with excellent shock resistance.
"Character" Cherry will have the same general characteristics of Cherry, but with more rustic features apparent. You can expect more random closed knots of unlimited size and filled knots of up to 3/4" than standard Cherry. However, these characteristics will not compromise the structural integrity of the product. Mineral streaks, gum spots, pitch pockets and pin holes will be more numerous and of unlimited size. The backs of doors, drawer fronts and other relative pieces may exhibit umlimited sap.
"Character" Red Oak will have the same general characteristics of Oak, but with more rustic features apparent. You can expect more random closed knots of unlimited size and filled knots of up to 3/4" than standard Oak. However, these characteristics will not compromise the structural integrity of the product. Mineral streaks and pin holes will be more numerous and of unlimited size.
Cherry hardwoods are chosen for their smooth texture, rich color and flowing grain patterns. In its natural state, cherry has a predominantly pinkish hue and may range in color from nearly white to pink to dark brown. (Due to these characteristic areas of light sapwood, Cherry is not recommended with a Natural finish. Even a light colored stain will blend and temper this color variation.) Some selections can even exhibit shades of yellow, green and gray. Small gum spots, pin holes, pitch pockets and mineral flecks are characteristic. Cherry will darken (mellow) with age due to exposure to sunlight - this color change can occur gradually or rapidly depending on the amount and intensity of exposure. Cherry is strong, moderately hard and has high resistance to shock.
Hickory is a relatively smooth hardwood chosen for its dramatic color variation and its prominent grain. Color within the same stave of wood and across an interior door can vary from a nearly white color to medium brown. Bird pecks, small pin knots and mineral streaks are common. Hickory is an exceptionally heavy and hard wood with high shock resistance.
Western Red Knotty Alder is a smooth, fine-grained hardwood with a straight grain pattern similar to Cherry. The color may vary from pale pinkish-brown to a light tan or honey color. Knotty Alder is chosen for its rugged appearance. Knots will be random in size and distribution and will range from tight sound knots to very rustic, split and open knots. Knotty Alder is moderately lightweight with low shock resistance.
Knotty White Pine is a softwood chosen for its straight grain and characteristic knotty appearance. Tight, sound knots are random and will vary in size and distribution. Knotty Pine is light in color with minimal variation from a creamy white to a light tan. Pine will mellow with age and the knots will darken. Pine is a stable softwood that is light in weigh and relatively low in shock resistance. Kotty Pine is randomly distressed before finishing. Some cabinet and door components (face frames, door stiles and rails, etc.) may appear clear, with very few knots, due to yielding of the wood for structural strength and integrity.
A smooth hardwood (Maple) is used for cabinet face frames and stiles and rails of doors and drawer fronts on orders specified with an Enamel finish. A smooth, ""paintable"" substrate (HDO, MDF, etc.) is used for all door/drawer front panels, ""Slab"" drawer fronts and all plywood cabinet components (cabinet sides, floor and ceiling) to ensure good adhesion and a smooth finish. Due to the very nature of wood, some slight telegraphing of the grain texture and wood characteristics will be visible under and enamel finish. Woodharbor does not manufacture ""painted"" cabinetry with plywood components due to warranty concerns with expansion/contraction of the veneer and the resulting finish "crackle".
Red Oak hardwoods are chosen for their prominent and beautiful, open grain patterns varying from a close-knit vertical grain to a characteristic cathedral or arched pattern. Some color variation from reddish tan to medium brown is possible in its natural state. Occasional pin knots and mineral streaks are also characteristic. Red Oak is an abundant, strong and heavy hardwood with high shock resistance.
White Oak will exhibit some color variation from a light grayish tan to brown. White Oak is a strong and heavy hardwood with high shock resistance. (Less lumber is yielded with quarter slicing which affects lumber pricing, but it is the only way to achieve the desired grain patterns.)
