Solid Hardwood Cabinets, Furniture & Interior Millwork

Walnut is the premium standard for stain-grade cabinetry and furniture. Its rich chocolate-brown color, straight grain, and warm undertones require no stain -- a natural oil or clear finish lets the wood speak for itself.

• Kitchen cabinets and islands where natural wood grain is the design feature
• Dining tables, desks, and high-end furniture
• Built-ins and office cabinetry in luxury interiors

Walnut is best with a natural or light oil finish -- staining it obscures the grain that justifies its cost

White oak is the dominant hardwood in contemporary and modern organic design. Its warm tan-to-gray tones, visible medullary rays, and versatile grain suit both natural and lightly stained finishes across a wide range of aesthetics.

• Shaker and slab cabinetry in contemporary and transitional kitchens
• Dining tables and benches in modern organic interiors
• Built-in shelving and closet systems

Rift or quartersawn white oak emphasizes the medullary ray fleck pattern -- a defining design feature in modern interiors

Soft maple is the standard for high-quality painted cabinetry, with a tight grain and consistent surface that takes paint better than pine or poplar. Hard maple is used for heavy-use surfaces requiring maximum hardness.

• Painted kitchen and bath cabinetry where paint quality is critical
• Built-ins and face frames requiring durability and clean lines
• Butcher block countertops and high-use surfaces (hard maple)

Use soft maple for painted work, hard maple for natural-finish surfaces that need maximum hardness

Cherry is a traditional furniture and cabinetry wood prized for its warm red-brown color and smooth, consistent grain. It darkens beautifully over time with light exposure, developing a rich patina without refinishing.

• Traditional and transitional cabinetry with stained or natural finishes
• Office furniture, shelving, and study built-ins
• Bedroom furniture where warm tone and grain character matter

Cherry's color shift with light exposure is a feature -- it deepens and warms naturally over the first few years

Alder is the affordable stain-grade hardwood for rustic, transitional, and craftsman cabinetry. It accepts stain evenly, machines cleanly, and is significantly less expensive than cherry, walnut, or white oak.

• Stain-grade kitchen cabinetry and bathroom vanities
• Rustic and craftsman-style furniture and built-ins
• Cabinet doors and face frames where consistent stain absorption matters

Alder is the most accessible stain-grade hardwood -- it delivers natural wood character at the most competitive price point

Poplar is the production standard for painted hardwood cabinetry. It machines fast, takes paint predictably, and keeps project costs low. Its mineral streaks disappear under paint, making it ideal where wood is infrastructure rather than the feature.

• Painted kitchen cabinets, bathroom vanities, and laundry cabinetry
• Interior trim, face frames, and built-in storage
• High-volume production painted work where cost efficiency is required

Never stain poplar -- its mineral streaks are visible under stain. Poplar is a paint-grade material.

Reclaimed hardwood brings aged patina, natural character, and sustainable provenance to statement cabinetry, furniture, and architectural surfaces. Old-growth reclaimed stock is often denser than new-growth equivalents.

• Kitchen islands and accent cabinetry in rustic modern interiors
• Dining tables and furniture where material history is part of the design
• Accent walls and built-in shelving in hospitality and residential spaces

Metal detection is non-negotiable before machining reclaimed material -- a single nail destroys a CNC bit
