GLOSSARY OF TERMS & CONDITIONS CONTINUED

Creamy white to light blonde tones to dark reddish-brown tones
Mineral streaks that are a natural characteristic and will appear darker with stain.
Wavy, curly bird`s-eye or burl graining as well as worm tracking across the grain that will darken when stained.
Variations within a single door or among adjacent cabinets in a lighter stain can be expected to yellow over time.

STRAIGHT GRAIN OAK WOOD
Its elegant, straight grained appearance sets it apart from the more common "cathedral grain" properties of plain sawn red oak. With
inherent enhanced stability, straight grain red oak is a more desirable, higher value alternative to plain sawn for any red oak application.
Contrary to plain sawn oak, straight grain oak is cut for figure. Straight grain oak still shows patterns of all cuts of oak such as plain, quarter
and rift sawn, especially in moldings and component pieces. The natural characteristics described below are normal and should not be
considered defects:
Oak colors range from light tans to deep reddish browns.
Streaks of yellow or black mineral deposits.
Noticeable differences in color between open and close-grained areas.
Variations within a single door and among adjacent cabinets.
Color ranges from pale yellow sapwood to deep reddish-brown heartwood, with occasional shades of white, green, or even grey.
Staining reveals subtle variations and colors that typically darken over time.
Variations within a single door and among adjacent cabinets.

BIRCH WOOD
Birch is a medium-density hardwood with a distinct, moderate grain pattern that ranges from straight to curly or wavy. The predominant
sapwood color is white to creamy yellow, while the heartwood varies in color from medium or dark brown to reddish brown. The natural
characteristics described below are normal and should not be considered defects:
Creamy yellow to reddish brown tones
Mineral streaks that are a natural characteristic and will appear darker with stain.
Wavy, curly bird`s eye or burl graining resulting in color variation within the same door.

PAINTED FINISHES
Painted wood or painted MDF offers a classic look for your cabinetry. Paint will develop hairline cracks in the finish, most notable around
the joints - especially miter joints. MDF typically is more stable than wood for expansion and contraction, reducing the potential for hairline
cracks at joints. This is a result of natural expansion and contraction of the wood. With that, MDF center panels are commonly used with
painted door styles to help with the stability of the door. Painted doors require more maintenance for chips, marks, residue from normal
kitchen use, and hand/fingerprints. Paint may have a slight difference in tones between doors, drawer fronts, face frames and molding.
