RED OAK -- Red Oak is a very strong, open-grained wood that ranges in color from salmon pink to white. It is sometimes streaked with green, yellow and black mineral deposits and may contain knots and wild grain veins that are naturally characteristic in the wood.

MAPLE -- Maple is a close, uniform-grained hardwood that varies in color from white to cream to light brown. Maple may exhibit small areas that are reminiscent of birds eye, curly grain, and may contain random small black mineral streaks.

HICKORY -- Hickory is a dense, heavy wood with both closed and open wood grain. The natural color of this wood has a wide range spanning from hues of white to chocolate brown. This wood has characteristic depressions, mineral streaks and random knots that are naturally occurring and add to the woods appeal.

KNOTTY ALDER -- Knotty Alder is a medium density hardwood that features a color range of light brown with reddish or peach hues. Small and large split knots and open knots that vary in size, shape, and color that may be completely through the wood are acceptable characteristics of Knotty Alder. Noticeable stain patina characteristics ranging in visibility from dark spots absorbing excessive stain to very light spots absorbing minimal stain may exist due to the Alder wood having soft and hard wood characteristics.

CHERRY -- Cherry ranges in color from white to red to a deep, rich brown. Exposure to natural light in the home will cause the color of the wood to darken over time. The natural wood colors will deepen, turning the dark areas of the wood a darker, reddish brown while the lighter areas darken to shades of yellow and brown. These changes in the wood color are natural, and should be expected in any cherry cabinetry.
