Wood Products & Materials Used By Cabinet Innovations
A quality product begins with quality materials. Cabinet Innovations uses materials from Columbia Forest Products, Weyerhauser Forest Products and Georgia Pacific. Most of the lumber comes from the Pacific Northwest, Wisconsin and Michigan. The standard drawer box material is 1/2" baltic birch plywood from Russia. That's the only imported product that is used because in our opinion, it is the best and strongest. The only product that is better (and more expensive) are solid wood dovetail drawer boxes.
Popular types of wood used by Cabinet Innovations
- Hickory. A current trend we are seeing involves the use of a lot of hickory. Hickory is a wood with a lot of character and can put up with a lot of abuse. Perfect for kitchens!
- Cherry. Another popular wood is cherry. Cherry is a classic wood but runs a bit more to the expensive side.
- Maple. Maple is another popular choice that is a beautiful, light colored hardwood.
- Red Oak. Red oak is always a good, inexpensive choice.
- Birch. Birch is a great wood with either a natural finish or stained and offers a variety of finishing options.
- Knotty Alder. Knotty alder is a cheaper version of cherry that can be finished many different colors as well.
- Knotty Pine. Knotty pine is a favorite for bars and kitchens that need to have the "log cabin" or rustic look.
