Solid Wood

Natural lumber milled from a single species of tree, such as maple, cherry, birch, or oak. In cabinetry, solid wood is used primarily for face frames, door frames, and drawer fronts because of its beauty, machinability, and ability to be refinished. Large flat panels like doors are often a combination of solid wood frames with veneered or MDF center panels to control wood movement.
