It is important to note that wood pieces differ even if they are of the exact same species. All sorts of different factors ranging from tree composition to milling, exposure to the sun, and even moisture dictate how a piece turns out. Let’s take a look at each type of wood for cabinets to give you a better idea as to which is ideal for your particular kitchen.
Maple Wood
Hard maple looks good in just about any environment. It has an all-natural aesthetic with considerable density. Its cream color is certainly easy on the eyes, especially when the light brings out its gold and red hues. No staining is necessary thanks to this wood’s unique grain and density. We add a clear coating to give it a sleek aesthetic that is certain to catch your eye.
Cherry Wood
Cherry wood is a luxurious choice for your kitchen cabinets thanks to its rich hue, knots, and beautiful grain composition. You’ll adore its tones that range from brown to red. Add in the fact that cherry wood cabinets tend to last across posterity and it is easy to figure out why they have become all the rage.
Alder Wood
Those who desire a wood species similar to cherry but do not want to pay the comparably high price will find alder wood to be perfect for their kitchen cabinets. This affordable wood species looks quite rich and lovely. Its color can be a brown/red combination or even a light yellow. Since alder has a fairly low sapwood level, it has a softer aesthetic than many other types of wood. You’ll love its texture as well as the fact that its closed grain takes on just about any type of stain with ease.
Beech Wood
Beech wood is revered for its rigidity and compatibility with stains. Light in color, this wood also features some dark flecks that add to its visual appeal. The wood also bears a straight grain aesthetic with knots mixed in.
Oak Wood
Oak is an absolutely gorgeous cabinet wood species. Take one look at oak kitchen cabinets and you’ll wonder how you ever lived without them. This wood features elongated arches and “sweeping” formations that leave an indelible imprint in your mind’s eye. The wood aficionados at Mr. Cabinet Care lean toward red oak as it is visually appealing and stains quite nicely.
