STANDARD GRADE
All of our standard grade wood is uniform in color (with the exception of Hickory) and is well suited for most light to medium-dark stain applications. Each door will be selected for uniform color and graining.
PREMIUM GRADE
Each piece will be hand-selected to ensure a superior color and grain match on the face of the doors. Very few natural wood characteristics allowed in the standard grade will be present on the face of the doors. Premium Grade is recommended when using a natural or very light sprayed on stain.
Oak Red - 301
Maple - 301
Cherry - 301
Alder - 301
RUSTIC GRADE
Only solid wood doors and drawer fronts can be made using Rustic Grade woods. Each Rustic Grade will have many variations allowed such as mineral streaks, sap and heartwood. Knots are common but will be structurally sound and may have slight voids or cracks around them.
Rustic Alder will have larger cracks and knot holes allowed but they will not be greater than 1/4" in diameter.
Alder Rustic - 301
Cedar Knotty - 301
Cherry Rustic - 301
Hickory Rustic - 301
Hard Maple Rustic - 301
PAINT GRADE
May have extreme color and grain variations with mineral streaks and heartwood allowed. Because solid wood will expand and contract, we STRONGLY recommend that an MDF panel is used for painted finishes rather than solid wood to prevent cracking. We will automatically use an MDF panel whenever possible unless the order specifies a solid wood panel be used.
Paint Grade - 301
VALUE GRADE
Developed for price sensitive projects and is best suited for use with Medium to Dark finishes. Value Grade will have a mixture of sap and light heartwood blended throughout as well as natural mineral streaks may be present on the face and profiled areas.
