A closer look at wood cabinets
Wood species used in cabinetry possess unique characteristics that give them their natural beauty. When selecting wood cabinets, it’s important to understand these characteristics and how they may change over time due to exposure to light and other environmental factors. Here is a closer look at the natural traits of some common wood types used in cabinet-making.
Birch Cherry
Hickory
Red Oak
Birch is a medium-dense hardwood with a
distinct grain pattern that may appear straight,
wavy or curly. Its predominant sapwood color
ranges from white to creamy yellow. Birch
heartwood color varies medium brown to
reddish-brown to dark brown.
Cherry is typically characterized as an elegant hardwood. In its raw state, cherry wood exhibits a pink-brown hue with occasional shades of white, green, pink or gray. This wood naturally darkens or mellows with age.
Hickory is a strong, open-grained wood.
It is recognized for its flowing grain pattern
and color variation that can range from light
brown to deep brown. Hickory wood often exhibits random specks, burls and mineral streaks.
Maple
Maple is a hard, close-grained wood. The grain is usually straight, although in some cases, it appears wavy or curly. Maple color is predominantly off-white, although it may also contain some light yellow-brown or pink hues. This wood may also contain some small mineral, light tan or red-tinged streaks that may darken with stain.
Red oak exhibits a prominent open grain. It
ranges in color from white to yellow to reddish-brown. Red oak may also be streaked with green, yellow or black mineral deposits.
