THE PREMIER SERIES – FINISH DESCRIPTIONS (continued)
Techniques Rub Thru: A sanding technique used to randomly expose an undercoat or natural wood tone of corners and edges. Glaze: An accent stain is applied over the entire door and when wiped off leaves a “hang up” of light to dark tones in the corners, deep grooves and wood grains creating an inconsistent light to dark all over glazed look. Sheen: All Stains, Stains with Glazes, Paints and Paints with Glazes will have a low sheen top coat.
THE PREMIER SERIES – DOOR MATERIAL DESCRIPTIONS
Due to the natural beauty and inherent variability of trees, any solid or veneer wood will exhibit some variation in color and grain, and no two pieces are alike. Exposure to sunlight, smoke, household chemicals and other environmental conditions will affect the appearance of the finish over time.
Cherry
Character Cherry
Cherry is known for its unique and beautiful color, grain patterns, and distinctive features. These include small pin knots, pitch pockets, and grain variations appearing as waves or curls. These features distinguish Cherry and are common in this species. The wood itself includes both sapwood, which ranges from white to yellowish, and heartwood, which has a rich reddish-brown hue. As Cherry ages it’s appearance will noticeably darken and mellow in color. This change occurs faster than other species, particularly with exposure to natural light. Maple is known for its typically straight, uniform grain pattern. While generally a consistent creamy white it can have slight variation from a bright white to a light pink or a light reddish brown. Maple will occasionally show small mineral streaks, bird’s eye, and wavy or burl graining. As maple ages and is exposed to light it will take on a slight change in color to an amber or yellowish hue. Maple Red Oak is an open-pored wood which varies from close knit vertical grain to prominent and arched patterns. Oak can have drastic color variation featuring dark mineral streaks, flecking, and small pink pinholes. Wellborn’s lumber processing produces product with straighter grains, and reduced widths of cathedrals than most other cabinet lines. Oak will darken over time particularly with exposure to light. Oak
Hickory is an exceptionally dense and strong hardwood which features a course, straight grained texture. It is characterized by striking, contrasting colors ranging from creamy white to dark brown and black, potentially within the same piece of wood. All tones of Hickory could include mineral streaks darker in color. Extreme random variation in color and grain is expected. Because of this color variation it is recommended to view a wide selection of samples to become familiar with the overall final aesthetic of purchased items. Hickory will darken over time particularly with exposure to light. Character Cherry’s rustic appearance and unique characteristics are emphasized by randomly occurring variously sized open knots, pin knots, pitch pockets, worm holes and tracks, gum pockets and streaks, mineral stains and streaks, burls, blemishes, sapwood, cluster knots, and structural splits. The amount of character will vary across each door and cannot be guaranteed, making each cabinet and space unique. Like Cherry, Character Cherry colors can range from white to pink to a dark brown and it will show the effects of age faster than other species, causing its appearance to darken over time particularly with exposure to light. Character Maple’s overall rustic appearance and unique characteristics include randomly occurring, variously sized knots, pin holes, worm holes and tracks, gum and bark pockets, sugar tracks, heartwood, and mineral streaks. Cluster knots and open knots could also be a feature. The amount of character marks will vary across each door and cannot be guaranteed, making each cabinet and space unique. Hickory Character Maple
Using high pressure and temperatures, WellCore MDF is formed by combining wood fibers with a wax resin binder to form panels making it more dense than standard particle board. This makes WellCore MDF a durable, smooth surface for cabinetry. Medium Density Fiberboard
