Knotty Alder
Knotty Alder is a medium density hardwood that features a color range of light brown with reddish or peach hues. Small and large split knots and open knots that vary in size, shape, and color, that may be completely through the wood, are acceptable characteristics of Knotty Alder. Noticeable stain patina characteristics ranging in visibility from dark spots absorbing excessive stain to very light spots absorbing minimal stain may exist due to the Alder wood having soft and hard wood characteristics.
Cherry
Cherry ranges in color from white to red and on to a deep, rich brown. Exposure to natural light in the home will cause the color of the wood to darken over time. The natural wood colors will deepen, turning the darker areas of the wood a dark, reddish brown while the lighter areas darken to shades of yellow and brown. These changes in the wood color are natural and should be expected in any cherry cabinetry.
Hickory
Hickory is a dense, heavy wood with both closed and open wood grain. The natural color of this wood has a wide spectrum, ranging from hues of white to chocolate brown. This wood has characteristic depressions, mineral streaks and random knots that are naturally occurring and add to the wood's appeal.
Maple
Maple is a close, uniform-grained hardwood that varies in color from white to cream into light brown. Maple may exhibit small areas that are reminiscent of bird's eyes, curly grain, and may contain random small black mineral streaks.
Red Oak
Red Oak is a very strong, open-grained wood that ranges in color from salmon pink to white. It is sometimes streaked with green, yellow and black mineral deposits and may contain knots and wild grain veins that are naturally characteristic of the wood.
Knotty Pine
Pine is a soft wood that ranges in color from vanilla to brown with a reddish hue, is light in weight, and contains sound ornamental knots that vary in size, shape and color. Pine will exhibit mineral streaks, curly grain and worm tracking. Pine may also darken with age or take on a yellowish/orange cast as it mellows with age.
Quarter Sawn Oak
Quarter Sawn Oak gets its name from how the log was oriented when the lumber was sawn. Unique grain patterns are produced by quartering the log then cutting the quarter using the heart as the edge rather than the center. The distinguishing characteristics of the Quarter Sawn are the rays or flecks that appear in random patterns across the grain of the wood. These rays can give the appearance of tiger stripes.
Select Alder
Select Alder is a medium density hardwood that features a color range of light brown with reddish or peach hues. Natural characteristics of Select Alder include small sound knots, modular rays, curly grain, pin holes, and mineral streaks. This fairly straight-grained hardwood has a uniform texture and is often chosen for its color stability.
