Wood CharacteristicsOur assembled cabinets are constructed using many pieces of solid wood and wood veneers. Graining differences, as well as normal color change can be expected. Wood species in all finishes will exhibit color change when exposed to different types of light. Color differences in wood are caused by variations in minerals found in the soil in which the tree was grown and the absorption of these minerals. End grain surfaces and softer areas of the wood may accept more stain an often appear darker than other surfaces, this is a natural reaction when finishing wood product and potential variances cannot be controlled. Additionally, every wood species exhibits other characteristics, including: knots, pinholes, sap runs and darkening with age. It is the beauty and nature of wood to have these characteristics, as well as natural variations in graining and color which will be present throughout our cabinetry.
Cherry
Features described below are typical and not considered defects:
• Small sap pockets, pin knots and streaks
• Color ranges from pale yellow sapwood to deep reddish brown heartwood, with occasional shades of white, green, pink or even gray
• Staining reveals subtle variations and colors that typically darken over time
• Variations within a single door and side by side cabinets
• May accept nicks and bumps over time
MapleMaple is a close-grained hardwood that is predominately white to creamy-white in color, with occasional reddish-brown tones. White maple typically features uniform graining as compared to other wood species, characteristic markings may include fine brown lines, wavy or curly graining, bird’s eye dots and mineral streaks. These traits are natural and serve to enhance maple’s natural beauty.
Features below are typical and not considered defects:
• Creamy white to light blonde tones to dark reddish brown tones
• Small mineral streaks of light blonde or reddish brown that darken 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 and side by side cabinets
Quarter Sawn OakIts elegant, straight grained appearance sets it apart from the more common “cathedral grain” properties of plain sawn red oak. Quartersawn red oak is more desirable, higher value alternative to plain sawn for any red oak application.
Quarter sawn oak is cut for figure, using the heart as the edge rather than the center, as in plain sawn oak, allowing rays and flecks to become visible.
Features described below are typical and not considered defects:
• Oak colors range from light tans to deep reddish browns
• Streaks of yellow or black mineral deposits
• Rays, checks and flecks are non-uniform and become visible.
• Noticeable differences in color between open and close-grained areas which may be more evident with light colored stain
• Variations within a single door and side by side cabinets
Finish Process1) Wood Selection:
The selection of the finest woods including cherry, maple and quarter sawn oak is the essential first step of 6 Square Cabinet’s 13 step finishing process.
2, 3) Sanded to Perfection:
Our sanding follows a strict ‘grit’ sequence of sand paper that is completed by a vacuum system to ensure that the wood surface is free of all particles.
4, 5) Achieving Natural Wood Tone:
Toner is applied to selected stain door styles to enhance the natural wood beauty and graining, followed by oven curing at 130° F.
6, 7) Stain Application:
Stain is evenly applied to all surfaces. This deep penetrating stain is applied for even coverage on all profiles, followed by oven curing at 130° F.
8) Removal of Excess Stain:
Wood is then hand-wiped to remove excess stain, emphasizing the natural wood grain.
9, 10) Catalyzed Sealer:
All stained door styles receive 2 coats of tough, non-yellowing, catalyzed sealer followed by oven curing at 130° F after each sealer coat.
11) Hand Sanded:
To achieve an ultra smooth finish, after each seal coat is applied, we hand sand the material one last time.
12, 13) Catalyzed Varnish:
Premium quality catalyzed varnish is applied, followed by oven curing at 130° F to protect the grain from moisture and lock in the beauty of the wood.
14) Final Inspection:
The last step is a very thorough inspection, ensuring quality, beauty and order accuracy.
