Built from the Right Wood. Finished the Right Way.

Medium-density fiberboard with an ultra-smooth face — the industry standard for painted cabinet doors. No grain telegraphing, consistent dimensions, and excellent stability.

Hard maple is the go-to species for both painted and stained doors. Fine, close grain takes finish exceptionally well. Durable, consistent, and widely available.

A soft hardwood with a straight, fine grain that closely resembles cherry. Alder accepts stain readily and evenly, producing a rich, warm tone at a very accessible price point.

Red oak and white oak both feature the prominent open grain texture that defines traditional American cabinetry. Highly durable and accepts oil-based stains beautifully.

American black cherry starts with a warm pinkish-brown tone and deepens dramatically with age and light exposure. One of the most prized cabinet woods for heirloom-quality projects.

A domestic hardwood that machines cleanly and holds paint with excellent adhesion. Lighter than maple, it's a popular choice for painted doors where solid wood is preferred over MDF.

Baltic birch and domestic birch plywood are the preferred materials for drawer box construction. Stable, strong, and dimensionally consistent — available in multiple thicknesses.
