Wood Species
The specific type of tree from which cabinet lumber is harvested, each offering distinct characteristics of grain pattern, color, hardness, workability, and cost. Common cabinet wood species include maple, cherry, oak, birch, hickory, alder, walnut, and pine. The wood species selection is one of the most important decisions in cabinet shopping because it determines the visual character, durability, and finish options available.
