Standard Stain Grade:
Will allow some naturally occurring characteristics
to be in the products, but kept to minimal amounts;
mineral streaks, pin knots, small tight knots and moderate
color variations could all occur in this grade. |
|
Grade Options: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Premium:
This grade will have tighter, more uniform color matching
and less characteristics allowed, than our standard stain
grade. |
|
Knotty:
Will focus on the naturally occurring knots found
within each species of tree.
The degree and size of those knots will depend on
the species chosen; however they will all be sound, solid
knots. Mineral
streaks and larger color variations are also allowed in
the grade. Knot
size is not allowed to be specified by the customer. |
|
Rustic:
Will bring out all of the natural characteristics
each species has to offer, including, but not limited to,
a large varying degree of colors, knots, mineral streaks
and even minor, naturally occurring cracks will be
allowed. When knots
do appear, they may or may not be open. |
|
**At no time, in any grade, will a knot be allowed to be
seen through; they will all be sound and tight.
They may have voids in them, meaning they could
look like a divot, but no light will pass through them. |

Alder - Standard Stain Grade |
Birch - Standard Stain Grade |
|
Alder's natural characteristics result in a blend of
reddish brown tones.
A small percentage of mineral streaks, small tight
knots and pin knots will be allowed on the face and in
profiled areas. Natural finish is not recommended because
alder wood will fade to a more natural white color, losing
most of it's reddish brown coloration. Grade options
available: premium,
knotty and rustic. |
White Birch is selected from the sapwood of the tree and
by allowing its natural characteristics our products have
a mostly uniform white color. A small percentage of
mineral streaks and flecking will be allowed on the face
and in profiled areas.
Grade options available: Premium |
|
Cherry - Standard Stain Grade |
Red Birch -
Standard Stain Grade |
|
We allow the natural color of cherry which will result in
a pink to red blend but no sap (white) is allowed to show
on the face of the product. Sap which might appear in
profiled areas is allowed in small amounts. Natural
characteristics like pin knots, pitch pockets and a
percentage of mineral will be allowed on the face and in
profiled areas. The heartwood of cherry naturally darkens
with time. Grade options available: premium, knotty and
rustic. |
Red Birch is selected from the heartwood of the Birch
tree; the result is a mostly uniform reddish brown color
with occasional light streaks naturally occurring in the
grain pattern. A small percentage of mineral streaks and
pin knots will be allowed on the face and in profiled
areas. We highly recommended using a natural finish. |
|
Hickory - Standard Stain Grade |
Red Birch Blend -
Standard Stain Grade |
|
In Hickory we allow a mixture of a nearly white color to
medium brown blended together.
A percentage of mineral streaks, small tight knots
and pin knots will be allowed on the face and in profiled
areas. Color
variations are not allowed to be specified by the
customer. This
specie is most desirable when using a natural or light
stain color. Grade options available: knotty and rustic. |
By using the heartwood and sapwood of the birch tree we
achieve a blend of dark reddish brown and light creamy
white creating an appealing color variation.
A small percentage of mineral streaks and pin knots
will be allowed on the face and in profiled areas. Color
variations are not allowed to be specified by the
customer. We highly recommend using a natural finish to
accent the color variations. |
|
Maple - Standard Stain Grade |
Poplar - Standard Stain Grade |
|
We allow the natural color of maple, resulting in a color
variation of light cream to light gray or tan.
A small percentage of mineral streaks and pin knots
will be allowed on the face and in profiled areas. With
time, the white color of maple can tend to turn yellowish.
Grade options available: premium and rustic. |
Stainable poplar is selected from the sapwood of the tree
and by allowing its natural characteristics our products
have a white to light tan to celery green color blend. A
small percentage of mineral streaks and pin knots will be
allowed on the face and in profiled areas. |
|
Pine - Standard Stain Grade |
Red Oak - Standard
Stain Grade |
|
When pine is used in making cabinetry and furniture it's
most commonly done utilizing the natural beauty of the
knots found in the wood.
Clear, or knot-free wood, is also available.
There are very few other characteristics found in
pine lumber, and the wood's color ranges from a soft
yellow color to some pinkish/red tones.
Grade options available: knotty. |
Red
Oak is a mixture of reddish tan to medium brown color
variations throughout the product. A small percentage of
mineral streaks and pin knots will be allowed on the face
and in profiled areas. This is our most popluar specie.
Grade options available:
premium, knotty and rustic. |
|
Paint Grade |
Beech, European Steamed -
Standard Stain Grade |
|
This grade utilizes paint grade wood stiles and rails with
an MDF center panel. We recommend this combination for
painted doors because the MDF center panel doesn't expand
and contract as much as solid wood so it helps prevent
cracking in the paint. |
We
allow the natural characteristics of steamed European
beech which results in a pink to white blend of color. A
small percentage of mineral streaks and pin knots will be
allowed on the face of the product.
Grade options available: select and rustic. |
