Pre-Assembled Homestead Heritage Oak Specifications
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
- Rays, checks and flecks are non-uniform and become visible.
- Noticeable differences in color between open and close-grained areas
- Variations within a single door and among adjacent cabinets
Note: The Homestead Heritage Oak assembled cabinetry is priced without finished sides (end panels) to save our customers money. Most customers only purchase end panels on cabinets at the ends of their kitchen where the sides are exposed, although you are more than welcome to purchase finished ends for all of your cabinets.
***All single door base and wall cabinets will automatically be hinged to the left unless otherwise specified. In addition, all end panels (including refrigerator and dishwasher panels) will also be finished on the left side unless otherwise specified. If you would prefer to have single door cabinets hinged to the right or panels finished on the right, please specify that under the Order Notes section upon checkout***
