All Wood Cabinetry™ is constructed from several pieces of solid wood and wood veneers. Differences in grain and color should be expected. Color differences in wood are the result of variations in minerals found in the soil native to the "trees origin". Absorption of these minerals will vary by tree or parts of said tree. In addition, color changes can be experienced due to different exposure to light. All species of wood will display characteristics such as knots, pinholes, sap runs, mineral streaks and darkening with age. It is the natural beauty of wood to exhibit these characteristics and they will be present throughout your cabinetry. Our Chocolate Glaze finish features hand applied glaze applied over the base stain which accentuates the door and drawer front profiles. This glazing, combined with occasional fly specks, dents, drips and runs is random and intentional in design to mimic the look of distressed furniture.
