	WOOD SPECIE OPTIONS AND DESCRIPTIONS
Welcome to the world of real wood products...solid, natural, warm, and beautiful. Since wood is a natural product no two pieces are exactly the same. Variations in color, texture and grain are what make solid wood products both beautiful and unique and is one reason why they have such appeal. The small pictures below, and descriptions below can only give an idea of the wood color and grain. ASK FOR SAMPLES!

The color will darken with age and on exposure to light. View CHERRY* door picture(s)*
