Wood Species

  1. Custom Wood Dovetailed Drawer Box Manufacturers
  2. Wood Species

ALDER

Color ranges from light tan to reddish brown, with almost no distinction between heartwood and sapwood. Alder has a fine texture with partly closed, straight grain similar to cherry. Pin knots are an acceptable characteristic.

ASH

The color tones of ash consist of a wide range of cream to light brown with some dark streaks. Burl and pin knots are acceptable. Ash is not selected for color. Panel rips are arranged to form a reasonable blend of grain matching and wood color tones.

CEDAR, AROMATIC 

Strong characteristics of aromatic cedar include its pleasant aroma and deep reddish-brown hue. Knots and pale yellow to white sapwood are acceptable and are present throughout. Knots vary in size and may be open, forming deep holes.

CHERRY

Cherry may contain some white sapwood. Grain and color are matched to form a reasonable blend. Exposure to light causes cherry to darken with age, revealing a deep reddish-brown tone. Gum pockets are a natural characteristic of cherry.

MAHOGANY

Color varies from golden brown to light reddish color tones with occasional pin knots or burl. Mahogany is selected for uniformity in color per job. When ordering, please indicate Natural Finish Grade Mahogany if a specific color range is required.

*Please note: There is an additional cost if a new mahogany order needs to be matched to an existing mahogany cabinetry component.

MAPLE

Our premium maple drawers are sorted to keep most heartwood and mineral out of sight (back of the back and front of the front for boxes receiving a drawer front), though a limited amount may appear on visible portions of the box. Color may include a tinge of pink to gray to white. No medium gray or brownish color tones are allowed. Drawers up to 10” high are built from a single stave with no glue ups.

PAULOWNIA 

Heartwood ranges from a pale grayish brown to a reddish-purple hue and is not always easily distinguished from the pale white sapwood. Paulownia is a lightweight wood with a straight open grain that is stable in various environments—making it the perfect selection for boating applications.

PINE, CLEAR

A completely clear grade of pine with no knots. Blue stain is not acceptable.

PINE, KNOTTY

Our knotty pine, a New England furniture grade, has tight red knots and is suitable for rustic-style cabinetry. Filled or loose knots and blue stain are not acceptable.

POPLAR

A soft hardwood, it has a pale yellowish to white color with some green and brown mineral. Not selected for color. Typically used as a paint grade.

RED OAK

Red oak is not selected for color. Defects such as knots and splits are removed. Character, such as burl and pin knots, is acceptable. Mineral is acceptable in the range of 1/8” wide x 5” long. Panel rips are arranged to form a reasonable blend of grain matching and color tones.

WALNUT

Walnut may have up to 15% sapwood. Burl and pin knots are acceptable.

WHITE OAK

A tight open-grained wood with light brown to greenish-gray color tones. Pin knots and burl are allowed. Not selected for color. Panel rips are arranged to form a reasonable blend of grain matching and color tones.

WHITE OAK, QUARTERSAWN

Quartersawn is different than plainsawn only in the way it is cut at the sawmill. Quartersawn is cut radially to the rings or parallel to the rays and produces an edge-grained appearance and is especially suited for reproductions of furniture or cabinetry.
