Wood And Finishes

The natural characteristics of wood may cause variations in finishes. Lighter or darker finishes and more or less apparent wood grain are part of the unique beauty of handcrafted wood doors.

Cherry

Cherry has a distinct grain pattern and warm color shadings ranging from nearly white to a dark reddish brown. Dark pockets, pin knots and random streaks are common.

Knotty Alder

Knotty Alder has a fine, straight grain and even texture. The natural color is light brown with a yellow or reddish tint. Spots, knots and blemishes are characteristic.

Maple

Maple has a fine, smooth grain. Color varies from nearly white to slightly reddish brown. Mineral or sugar streaks occur naturally and can vary from piece to piece.

Red Oak

Red ak has a long linear grain, often displaying tiny rays. Coloration ranges from a golden wheat to deeper tones that can include grays and greens. May have small pinholes and tiny knots.

Walnut

Walnut grain is irregular, but typically straight, with medium texture. It varies in color from light brown to dark chocolate. Occasional dark streaks, purplish brown cast, and wavy grain are attractive features.

White Oak

White oak is mostly straight-grained with a medium-to-coarse texture. Having longer rays than red oak, white oak has more figure.

MDF

Medium-density fiberboard is an engineered wood product. Softwood fibers are combined with wax and a resin binder then formed into panels with high temperature and pressure. MDF has no grain and little tendency to split making it a good paint grade option.

Moisture Resistant, paint grade MDF

Moisture Resistant, Paint Grade MDF is the recommended choice for doors that will be installed in bathrooms, kitchens, basements, or other high-humidity areas in your home.
