Stain Colors

For Rift Cut White Oak

The beauty of real wood grain is never in doubt, with an unmistakable warmth that no other finish can match. And with our skilled finishing team, we create some of the most beautiful and durable finishes for your cabinetry. We offer a full range of high-solids furniture stains, from light and subtle to rich and dramatic.

The process starts with stain being carefully hand applied, and hand wiped. Pieces are then set aside; this important pause allows the stain to achieve the necessary depth and readies the pieces for the next step: our sealer coat.

Using a catalyzed varnish we hand spray our sealer coat, laying down the proper thickness to provide the foundation of a beautiful and durable clearcoat. Once sprayed, pieces are rolled into the oven, and baked at 130° for twenty minutes. This is not a process that can be duplicated on jobsite-made cabinetry, and is essential for a truly long-lasting and beautiful finish.

When all pieces have cooled, they are hand sanded with an ultrafine grit sandpaper, and then rubbed with a tack cloth to remove the smallest traces of dust.

Next, it’s back to the spray booth, where our skilled sprayers apply the topcoat, using another catalyzed conversion varnish. All freshly topcoated pieces head back to the oven, for another twenty minute baking at 130°. This final baking is equally critical, as it promotes the cross-linking between the sealer and topcoat, yielding our famous gorgeous finish. This carefully controlled finishing process cannot be duplicated by any local cabinetmaker.

Our Standard Collection in Rift Cut White Oak

Rift cut white oak yields the straightest lines of grain compared to the other ways a log can be sawn (Quartersawn, Plain Sawn or Live Sawn). A good choice when an even, consistent look is desired (think Contemporary, for example)
