Description
Coloration of white oak will vary from light brown to a grayish tint in the heartwood. Two shades of ochre may appear in the sapwood. The wood rays are more pronounced and longer than in red oak. All white oak wood is heavy, very hard, and strong. Any knots will be small and well-scattered.
This is a sample of Adelphi Kitchens’ full cover finish. Adelphi uses solid hardwoods in most door designs and all cabinet face frames. Solid wood constantly expands and contracts depending upon the amount of moisture in the air and may cause hairline cracks in the full cover finish at joints. These cracks are not viewed as a defect. Balancing air moisture with humidifiers and air conditioning in winter and summer helps to alleviate this wood movement. We believe that you will find this characteristic not only acceptable but charming.
