Wood Selection


		Nature's Heart The richness of our cabinetry begins with the wood. Its beauty is much more than skin deep. Neither synthetic nor engineered, wood comes from the heart of nature - the simplest and most reliable source.

		Unique Wood Our cabinetry is constructed from many pieces of wood. Each is unique and displays natural variations in color. The lighter pieces were closer to the tree's bark, while the darker pieces were closer to its center. All are equally strong and impact the beauty and value that make hardwoods second-to-none.

		Unique Grain The unique grain patterns in solid hardwoods are related to the tree's growth rings. The distinct differences come about as the wood is prepared for use in your cabinetry.

		Authenticity Trees absorb minerals and other essential elements as they grow and prosper. You may see traces in your cabinetry. These natural characteristics let you know you are enjoying the authentic item and not an artificial wood imitation.

		Knots and All All trees grow limbs, which fall to the forest floor as the tree matures. The tree trunk will always have a knot where the limbs once were. Parts of the tree, knots and all, may find new life in your cabinetry. These natural markings are proof of the tree's origins; they have absolutely no effect on its durability and structural integrity. Knots and other characteristics are much like the nubs you find in such fine natural fabrics as silk and linen; they are indications of genuine quality.
