Wood Expectations
Just as no two trees are alike, no two pieces of wood are alike. How and where the tree has grown can affect the frequency of mineral deposits and knots, variations between light and dark wood, and grain patterns. This natural process results in variations in the grain and color throughout cabinetry. The grain, texture, and color of any sample can vary from another sample. Variations are more apparent when viewing larger samples, such as entire rooms of cabinetry.
When exposed to light, all woods darken or lighten, and mellow with age, the rate of that change varies by species. Wood is hydroscopic, meaning it absorbs and gives off moisture according to the humidity around it-even when a finish has been applied. Wood shrinks and swells because of moisture and this may cause hairline fractures in the finish at the joints. This shrinking and swelling is normal and does not affect the structural stability and integrity of the joint construction.
