LUXE SERIES — DOCUMENT OF UNDERSTANDING continued
Oak Wood Species
Hickory Wood Species • Red oak is an open and distinctive grain patterned wood • Glaze will hang up in all open grain areas and will appear as ‘ticking’ or ‘bleed out’ • Wellborn’s manufacturing technology creates Oak with straighter grains than most cabinet lines, and our process minimizes the wide grains, and reduces the widths of cathedrals in Oak • Can have drastic color variation and contain the visual of flecking, dark mineral streaks and small pink pinholes • The flecking areas do not receive finishes well • Translucent and lighter colored stain finishes will allow more of the wood’s natural variation to be visible through the finish • Oak will darken over time particularly with exposure to light • An exceptionally dense and strong hardwood which features a course, straight open grained texture • Characterized by striking contrasting colors ranging from white, cream, and tan to brown potentially including red undertones • Can have distinctive contrasting colors from light to dark and strong grain characteristics; extreme random variation in color and grain is expected • Because of the color variation, it is recommended to view a wide selection of samples to become familiar with the overall final aesthetic • Heartwood is usually darker than the sapwood and a combination of the two can create a strong contrasting look known as ‘Calico’ • Can have the visual of flecking, occasional wavy graining and mineral streaks commonly darker in color • The flecking areas do not receive finishes well • Translucent and lighter colored stain finishes will allow more of the wood’s natural variation to be visible through the finish • Hickory will darken over time particularly with exposure to light • Medium Density Fiberboard (MDF) is much more dense than normal particle board making it a durable, smooth surface for cabinetry • MDF panels are formed by combining wood fibers with a wax resin binder using high pressure and temperatures • A durable and tough wood product, commonly used in the construction industry • Five piece doors and drawer fronts will show joint lines • Accessories made of wood may not be an exact match to the door due to differences in substrate MDF Doors
