Brown Maple

Brown Maple has a fine and uniform grain, with a smooth, even texture. Along with Oak, Brown Maple is generally the least expensive option for solid hardwood furniture. This is not an indication of quality, but a reflection of the economics of supply and demand. Brown Maple offers a very economical alternative to cherry wood, with similar looking results when stained in traditional dark stains.

Sap Cherry

Sap cherry is also commonly referred to as ‘character cherry’. Sapwood contains certain cells within the wood that are responsible for storing and transporting nutrients throughout the tree. Sap cherry offers more variation in color contrast and grain patterns than traditional cherry, which is why it has earned the nickname of ‘character cherry’.

Plain Sawn White Oak

‘Plain sawn’ or ‘flat sawn’ is the most common method of harvesting lumber. In this method, boards are cut from a log all in the same parallel direction. This method yields decently strong boards with the least amount of waste. However, this cutting method also produces an inconsistent grain pattern since the pattern is determined by where on the log the cuts are made. A plain sawn cutout from the center of the log would have an appearance closer to that of quarter sawn, while a cutout from close to the outer edge of the log would yield a traditional curved or cathedral effect. If you like a variety in your grain pattern, plain sawn white oak maybe a wood selection you prefer. As this method is the most common and easiest to produce, this is a less expensive option than quartersawn.
