What types of wood are good?
If you are having your cabinets’ custom built then you might be asking what types/kinds of wood will the cabinet maker use to build your new cabinets. There are four main types of woods that are the preferred choices when you are building cabinet frames and the rest of the cabinet too: Cherry, Maple, Northern Red Oak and Pine. The first three are hard woods that are very durable and will stand up to quite a bit of pounding, daily wear and tear and abuse very nicely. Pine is a soft wood that is also very durable, but chosen because of the fact that it can be stained very easily and will hold the stain perfectly for many years to come. Any of the four of these woods are an excellent choice for your cabinets. If you want a wood with a deep rich color before staining, then you might choose Cherry or Northern Red Oak.
