Alder
Commonly used for a rustic
look with knotholes, burls
and mineral streaks. Can
create a modern/industrial
look with a darker finish.
Available in
Rustic only.
Hickory
The hardest wood with
the widest color variation.
Random burls, knots and
mineral streaks give each
hickory kitchen a unique
sensibility.
Birch
Medium density hardwood
with a distinct, moderate
grain pattern. Versatile
and useful for designs that
are anywhere from casual to
refined.
Maple
Kind of a go-to wood
species—very uniform
and predictable. Therefore
takes lighter stain and
paint colors well.
Cherry
Brings a rich, elegant feel.
Common in fine furniture.
Darkens or “mellows” with
age. May contain small
knots for added character.
Oak
Another popular, versatile
wood with rich textures and
grain patterns that lends
itself to practically any
application.
