There are a number of wood species that are great for
casegoods.
Many would argue that the Hawaiian Koa wood is the best for
chests, dressers, bookshelves and cabinets.
Koa is colorful but is perhaps the most expensive. What about hickory? Grain, color, inclusions like knots, burls,
figure, bird peck, worm track and other unique attributes also offer the lovers
of this wood some examples of hickory's
identification. Red Adler. Pine.
Birch. Take your pick of wood for
your next project.
But one stands out.
Cherry. Underrated by
many.
There are those in the casegood industry that praise the
wood's wide number of applications including paneling, flooring and furniture. Need
a great look in your kitchen or other areas of your home or building? Cherry is
the top choice for fine furniture.”
One designer/salesman of custom cabinetry shared a perspective
of selecting a type of wood for your next project: select a wood that presents the best finish. With
cherry, this hardwood has attractive
grain character, and stained finishes on cherry have a depth and luster not
found on most other cabinetry woods.
Additionally, keep in mind choice of wood and sustainability. This idea is not lost by our friends at Savoy Furniture.
