In general, Natural is our standard grade which is best suited for medium to dark stains that cover variations in color and grain. Natural grades are clear of pronounced defects but possess inherent characteristics of the species in which only the extremes are removed. Color and grain, while monitored, will vary more and will not be as uniform in appearance as our Select grade. Select is our premium grade and it is a top tier, proprietary grade of lumber that is the best in the business. Select grade is recommended for light stains or clear finish.
TaylorCraft Cabinet Door Company offers wood species and material grades not shown on our website on a case-by-case basis. Please call for pricing and lead time on any material not shown in our spec book or on our website.
