MAPLE is a finely grained, exceptionally hard wood specie. Maple's natural colors range from creamy white to light blonde tones to dark reddish browns. As with other wood species, darker stains will reduce the natural wood color variation.

OAK is a prominently grained hardwood, with pattern variations from straight grain to arcs. When finished with a light colored stain, noticeable differences in color will be evident between the open- and closed-grain areas of the wood. Darker stain colors will provide a more uniform appearance.

CHERRY is a closed grained hardwood with occasional pin knots and fine grain variations appearing as curls and waves. Cherry naturally ranges from a pale yellow to deep reddish brown. Staining reveals subtle variations and colors, which typically darken over time.

HICKORY is known for dramatic color variation, ranging from deep reddish brown heartwood to pale white sapwood. Darker stains moderate the color variance in Hickory. Knots and streaks are considered an inherent aspect of the charm of Hickory cabinets.

A Note About Wood
Our cabinets represent careful selection of materials. While every effort is made to match wood grain as closely as possible, no two pieces of wood are exactly alike, even those from the same tree. These differences in color and grain mean each piece will respond differently to the finishing process. It's these variations that contribute to the beauty and distinction of quality wood products.

Over time, exposure to sunlight, smoke, and chemicals may cause some finishes to fade or vary from their original color. This is why cabinets or accessories purchased at a later date may not exactly match cabinets installed now. For the same reasons, a door sample or display may not represent the exact color of cabinets received at the time of shipment. You should also read all cleaning agent instructions carefully before using them on your cabinets.

Enjoy the character of your American Woodmark cabinets-they are truly unique. With proper care, they will age beautifully for years to come.
