BrightWood Custom Cabinet Finishes

Benjamin Moore Color Match: BrightWood does not use Benjamin Moore paint, instead it is a high quality furniture grade catalyzed finish. If you wish to match a Benjamin Moore color, you can order your cabinets through BrightWood's color match service. You will receive a color matched sample to approve prior to the production of your cabinets. Please note that this process often adds a few weeks (approx.) to your delivery time frame. For quickest delivery, please select a finish from our standard stain and paint options shown below.

Cherry ranges in color from white to deep brown. Exposure to light in your home will deepen these colors, turning the wood to a dark, reddish brown in the darker areas, while the light areas will deepen to shades from yellow to brown. These changes are natural, and should be expected. Cherry may contain areas of gum pockets, mineral streaks, sap marks, and pin knots. These characteristics are common and to be expected as a natural part of the wood. If these characteristics are not appealing we recommend that the Premium wood upgrade is selected to minimize these traits.

CLEAR ALDER: Also known as Alder or Premium Alder is pale yellow or tan to light reddish-brown color. The color is somewhat uniform throughout with random pin knots to be expected as a natural part of the wood. It has a straight, fine grain with an even texture.

RUSTIC ALDER: Also known as Knotty Alder, is pale yellow or tan to light reddish-brown color. The color is somewhat uniform throughout with sound whole knots and cut knots giving this species a very rustic appearance. It is fine grained with moderate variation. If the larger knot characteristics of Rustic Alder are not appealing we recommend that Clear Alder is selected to minimize these traits.

Hickory is a strong and varied grain wood and is also called Calico Hickory. In a light finish, you will see that its color ranges widely, from white to dark chocolate brown. This extreme variation can be seen within a single door panel and is considered desirable. This wide variation is especially prevalent when ordering large veneered panels and will not be considered a defect for replacement under warranty. Random knots and worm holes add even more character to hickory’s natural beauty.

Maple is a smooth, close-grain wood that is primarily off-white in color. While maple is very uniform, you will notice random rays of wood grain outlined with small, darker lines. Small black dots, known as bird's eyes, and black mineral traces are another touch of nature in solid maple doors. These characteristics are common and to be expected as a natural part of the wood. If these characteristics are not appealing we recommend that the Premium wood upgrade is selected to minimize these traits. Maple will also begin to take on a golden hue as it ages.

Our painted cabinets combine the beauty of wood with the clean look of a painted finish. Over time, the wood will naturally expand and contract and the painted finish may develop hairline cracks, most noticeable in the joint areas. This is a result of the genuine hardwoods used in the manufacture of our products. These changes can be expected with the beauty of our painted cabinets. To minimize the uneven look of the wood's natural changes in center panels most wood framed doors will be made with center panels that are MDF when the finish is painted. Most veneered doors or veneered center panel doors will be made without the veneer when the finish is painted and will be MDF instead.

Please note that the interior of the cabinets will be natural wood color. This also means that the bottom of the wall cabinets will be natural wood finish also. If you want a painted interior or bottom, that is an optional upgrade. Please let us know if that is important to you during the design stage and before you order your cabinets.

As a result of the style of cut known as quarter sawn, this straight grain wood displays a dramatic pattern sometimes called “ribbon and flake”. It varies in color from white to light tan, medium brown, or a pale yellow-brown with a pinkish tinge. It has a medium to coarse texture with small knots, mineral deposits, or worm holes occasionally present. (Finished end option is not available. Another option must be chosen for exposed ends. If a cabinet is ordered with the finished option selected, the cabinet will be provided with a flush finished end.)

Red Birch comes from the heartwood of the birch tree and is a tight, close-grain wood. The pattern can range from a plain, indistinct growth to a figured or curly grain. Streaky colors are common with contrasting shades of red and brown that can also be present as pink or even as a purplish tone. (Finished end option is not available. Another option must be chosen for exposed ends. If a cabinet is ordered with the finished option selected, the cabinet will be provided with a flush finished end.)

Red oak is very strong, open grained wood with color ranging from salmon to white. The accents of green, yellow, or black that run through the surface are signs of mineral deposits absorbed during the tree's growth. Worm holes, knots, and wild grain patterns all serve as nature's fingerprints on solid oak doors.

Walnut is beautiful wood stained or natural. The natural characteristics common for this species result in a blend of off-white to gray to medium brown tones throughout. It shows a curly grain pattern with occasional mineral or pin knots. Standard grade Walnut can have up to 35% of light sapwood present in the center panels of doors. (Finished end option is not available. Another option must be chosen for exposed ends. If a cabinet is ordered with the finished option selected, the cabinet will be provided with a flush finished end.)
