Overlay refers to the amount of frame that is covered by the door and drawer front.
Reveal refers to the amount of visible face frame when the doors and drawers are closed.
The uniqueness of natural wood is its variation in color and grain pattern.
Just as no two trees are alike, no two pieces of wood are alike. Light stains will exhibit greater variation
in color due to the underlying wood tones, than darker stains.
Our full overlay covers most of the frame, leaving a 1/4 inch reveal of the frame exposed.
Standard overlay covers less of the frame, leaving approximately one inch of the frame exposed.
A classic look where the door and the drawer front is inset into the face frame, leaving the entire face frame exposed.
Cherry is a rich, premium hardwood. Coloring can range from pinkish brown, white, green or yellow. Cherry typically has sapwood, pitch pockets, streaks and pin knots and will darken with age.
Alder is a hardwood that is lighter in weight and softer than other hardwoods. Alder has a fine, straight grain similar to Cherry and Maple with a uniform honey color. Some tight knots are typically present. Alder stains well across the full color spectrum.
Maple is a dense, straight-grained hardwood with uniform coloring. When stained, Maple can have a mottled appearance and small mineral streaks. Maple will age slightly over time.
Walnut is a premium hardwood that has long been prized for its rich beauty, warmth and strength. The grain is generally straight and open, but sometimes has wavy or curly patterns. Color can vary from creamy white to light or chocolaty brown, occasionally with darker sapwood streaks. Walnut will “mellow” and lighten as it ages.
Hickory is a strong hardwood with dramatic color variations and grain patterns. Color can vary from white to deep brown in the same piece of lumber, evening out slightly over time. Hickory will have some knots, mineral streaking, pin holes and burls.
Quartersawn White Oak is achieved through the old-fashioned method of cutting logs where the logs are first cut into four quarters and then cut on the diagonal from the center of the tree out towards the edges. This method is what gives it a distinctive straight line grain pattern. Quartersawn White Oak will have medullary ray flecks. This ray fleck may appear reflective and lighter than the surrounding grain after it’s stained; these are signature characteristics, not flaws.
Red Oak is known for its strength and stability and has a prominent open grain. Oak ranges in color from white to yellow to reddish brown. Small pin knots and minor mineral streaking are present. Graining may vary from closely knit to a sweeping arch pattern.
