STAIN FINISHING
Each cabinet we finish is treated as a unique piece of craftsmanship. Our stain process begins with hand-sanding and careful surface preparation to bring out the natural character of the wood. Every layer is thoughtfully built up, then sealed with a protective finish that enhances depth and durability. The result is a custom finish that highlights the beauty of the material and reflects the care put into every detail.
All of our stain finishing is done using the Premier Color Collection by FinishWorks™. They specialize in high quality finishing products.
WOODS & STAIN COLORS
CHERRY
Cherry is generally straight grained with a decently uniform, smooth texture. It has a rich luster and red to reddish brown heartwood to almost white, little-to-none sapwood. Cherry takes stain very well and that would be our recommendation for its finishing.
MAPLE
Maple wood has a smooth and uniform texture with a straight, closed grain. Extremely hard and durable, it is creamy white to slightly reddish brown tinge. We recommend it for painting and use it for our paint finished cabinets. It also takes stain well.
RED OAK
Straight grained with a coarse texture with open pores. White to light brown sapwood and light reddish heartwood. Red Oak is very hard and durable and accepts stain very well. Not recommended for painting due to its coarse grain.
1/4 SAWN & RIFT CUT WHITE OAK
White Oak is mostly straight grained with a medium to coarse texture, White Oak sapwood can vary from whitish light brown to almost grayish dark brown and the heartwood is light to dark brown in color. White Oak is very strong and takes stain very well. It is not recommended for painting due to its coarse grain.
