Tell me about the characteristics of the different wood types cabinets are made from?
Different woods have different characteristics. Maple is a hard wood with a clean, consistent graining and color. Cherry is often chosen for its fine uniform straight grain, smooth texture and reddish color. Oak is also a hard, durable wood with a strong, bold, grained look. Alder is appealing to those who like its visible knots and the natural distressing that occurs over time because of its softness. For more information on wood characteristics, click here.
