While oak continues as the most favored wood, the close grain woods gained from 8.9% to ll.0o/o of the showroom spaces since last January. These include maple, alder, birch and cherry.

The medium textured woods such as walnut, mahogany, the burls. and a dozen or more miscellaneous species accounted for 19.2o/o of the total. down from 23.30/0.

The open pore, contrasty woods of oak, pecan and pine held their strong position with 37.50/o of the showroom space while the balance were glass-metal-marble at 13.50/o painted and plastic at 9.00/0, enamel (painted) at 3.60/0, and wicker-bamboo at 6.20/0.

Oriental was more widely shown in table styles, but the numerical total, since complete lines are not always exhibited, increased to 6.90/o level. American traditional which is a composite of the popular Early American, Colonial and Federal styles increased to 8.80/o of the showroom spaces, up from 7.80/o last summer.

At the same time, the rustic ranch and architectural Mission styles increased to 5.4% so the total "American Tradition" was 14.20/o of the market, according to Dave McCullam, Northwest Hardwoods, Inc. of Portland, Or.
