Wood Options:
Woodcraft cabinets, bookcases, and furniture are available in Maple, Red Oak, Pine, Cherry, and Hickory. Solid wood indicates that any exposed parts of the piece of furniture are made of a solid board or solid core plywood. No particleboard or medium density fiber board is used.
- Maple is a very light colored hardwood with a close, fine, uniform texture that is generally straight-grained. It is a very durable hardwood and will take any color stain or paint well.
- Northern Red Oak has a reddish cast and is a very hard wood with a mostly straight open grain with a coarse, uneven texture. It is an extremely durable, great wear-resistance hardwood that accepts stains well to a beautiful finish.
- Cherry has a light pinkish brown color darkening to a medium reddish brown with time. The grain is usually straight, and has a fine, even texture with moderate natural luster.
- Hickory tends to be a light to medium brown, with a reddish hue. Hickory sapwood is a paler yellowish brown. Boards with contrasting heartwood and sapwood create a somewhat rustic appearance.
- Pine has a soft white or pale yellow tint. It is light weight, straight grained and resists shrinking and swelling. Pine often has knots that give it a rustic appearance.
