 Alder Wood Species
| ALDER (Alnus rubra) Alder is a relatively soft hardwood with a grain pattern similar to cherry. The color is uniform and varies slightly from reddish-brown to light tan or honey. Knotty alder has a rustic, rugged look; knots are random in size, quantity, and location. Open, star, and split knots are common. Alder accepts stain and finishes very well. |

Cherry Wood Species CHERRY Prunus serotina Cherry is a hardwood with a rich color and flowing grain pattern. The fine, satiny texture of the wood is uniform and frequently wavy, with distinctive gum veins and pockets. The lustrous heartwood ranges from light to dark reddish brown, contrasting sharply with the sapwood, which may be light brown to pale with a light pinkish tone; however, between boards there may be significant color variations. Small gum spots, pin knots, and mineral streaks are characteristic. Important: Cherry is extremely light-sensitive, and darkens significantly with age and intensity due to sunlight exposure. |

African Mahogany African Mahogany is a hardwood with an interlocked or straight grain, often with a ribbon figure, and a moderately coarse texture. Color ranges from creamy-white sapwood to reddish brown heartwood, often with a purple cast. African Mahogany is moderately heavy and hard with medium bending and crushing strength, low stiffness and shock resistance, moderate decay resistance, and good stability. |

Hard Maple Wood Species HARD MAPLE Acer saccharum Hard maple is a very strong hardwood with a closed, subdued grain and a uniform texture. The sapwood is a lovely creamy white, while the heartwood ranges from creamy white to light reddish brown. Unless otherwise specified, figuring such as curly, birds-eye, quilted, or fiddleback is slight. Due to its light color and durability, hard maple is a popular choice for a "contemporary" look. Because it is so dense, it does not take stain well. |

CVG Fir Wood Species DOUGLAS (CVG) FIR Pseudotsuga menziesii Douglas fir is a softwood with a generally straight, sometimes wavy grain. Its texture is medium to fairly coarse, and its color varies from yellowish to orange-red heartwood and whitish to reddish-white sapwood. It is typically free of knots. Douglas Fir has moderate shock resistance and high stiffness. It is somewhat brittle and susceptible to checking/splitting. |

Hickory Wood Species HICKORY Carya spp. Hickory is a dense hardwood with extremely high shock resistance. The heartwood is tan or reddish, with the sapwood a contrastingly beautiful creamy white. Checking is relatively common in hickory, and the relative density makes it difficult to take a stain well. It is most beautiful with a clear, natural finish. |

Quarter-Sawn White Oak Wood Species QUARTER-SAWN WHITE OAK Quercus alba Because of its unique sawing pattern, quarter-sawn white oak has a beautiful plumed or flared appearance, or a flake pattern that may be referred to as "tiger rays" or "butterflies." It has long been used in fine furniture, especially in early colonial America. White oak finishes well, is very durable and exhibits high shock resistance.
