Woods & Surfaces
After selecting the perfect door style for your home, your choice of wood species, or surface, and finish follows. Each hardwood species offers a wide range of stains, paints, and specialty finish options, shown on the following pages.
Cherry Hickory
The warm elegance of Cherry darkens considerably as it ages. Cherry’s fine grain often exhibits swirls and a flowing, random pattern. Its color varies from nearly white to dark reddish brown.
Hickory displays vibrant grain patterns and wide variation in color. Lighter stains make this feature most evident, while darker stains tend to mute it.
Maple
Paint Grade
The fine, uniform grain pattern of Maple tends toward lighter colorations. Like all woods, it will darken with age, but to a lesser degree than Cherry. Maple takes on a subtle mottled appearance when finished in darker stains.
Aireal shown in Maple Cashew
One of our most popular selections is Paint Grade. Paint Grade doors and five-piece drawer headers have a solid, fine-grain hardwood frame. Center panels and slab headers are of HDM. HDM, an engineered wood, is used by cabinetry manufacturers of all quality levels because it is more stable than solid hardwood. The entire door is HDM in select door styles, if even greater stability is desired.

Lansing shown in Hickory Flagstone
Red Oak Walnut
A time-honored favorite with prominent, distinctive grain character, Red Oak may show tiny rays and flowing patterns. It tends toward warm tones and is very hard with a high shock resistance.
Hillcrest shown in Red Oak Natural
Quartersawn White Oak
The more costly quartersawing method yields material with distinctive grain and superior stability. Quartersawn White Oak is also very receptive to glazing, highlighting its unique grain. We use genuine Quartersawn White Oak for face frames, end panels, and coordinating elements like moldings on all Quartersawn cabinetry orders.
Cheshire shown in Quartersawn White Oak Montana
Walnut has a variable grain, ranging from straight to highlyfigured, and color, ranging from tan to dark brown to purplishgray heartwood, and creamy white to blonde sapwood. A darker stain is recommended when less color variation is desired.
Concordia shown in Walnut Natural
Rustic Alder
Create an environment of authentic warmth and homey charm with Rustic Alder. Featuring Cherry-like grain, Rustic Alder displays visible knots, mineral streaks, and color variation in the door frames and solid center panels.

Distressing
Bluestem distressing gives a timeworn look to cabinetry, reminiscent of antique furniture. The process creates soft corners and profiles, and subtle, randomly-placed dents. Optional glazing accentuates these features even more.

Handcrafted Glazing
Bluestem glazed finishes highlight detail and create an impression of aging at no additional charge. Glazing is an additional finish step in which a pigmented material is applied to the surfaces, then partially hand-wiped away. Allowing the glaze to “hangup” in areas of detail, adding contrast and depth. Because of the handcrafted nature of glazing, it is naturally variable.
