Cabinet Doors - Wood Species and Grades

Like other natural materials, wood grain patterns and color tones vary greatly from one species to another and they also vary within their own species. Because of this variation we offer the following information in order to assist you in choosing what wood species would best suit your needs. Open knot’s are not acceptable on door fronts but “pin pricks” are. Remember, we don’t make the trees we just use them for making cabinet doors. If you don’t want your cabinet doors to look like wood, paint.
