| This is one of the most prized of North American hardwoods, the wood is heavy, hard, and stiff and has excellent stability. It is moderatly dense, but very strong. | Prized for its rich color and fine graining, black cherry is commonly seen in American cabinetry and furniture. The fine, satiny texture of the wood is uniform and frequently wavy, with distinctive gum veins and pockets. | Hickory is a very dense wood that is reddish brown in color with dark brown stripes, while the sapwood tends toward a creamy white with pinkish tones and fine brown lines. | The sapwood of sugar maple is a lovely creamy white, while the heartwood ranges from creamy white to light reddish brown. This wood has a closed, subdued grain and a uniform texture, with medium figuring. | Red oak is light-colored with a reddish tone. It is slightly redder in color than white oak, which can have a white to cream to light brown color. The grain of red oak is open, and also somewhat coarser, and so more porous, than that of white oak. | White oak is slightly harder than red oak, and also more durable. However, both types are notably stiff and dense, have high shock resistance, and resist wear. |

| What is prefinished and unfinished hardwood? Prefinished hardwood has a durable and consistent factory finish. No finishing is needed which allows for quick installation, and eliminates the noise and dust associated with hardwood installation. What is Unfinished hardwood? Unfinished hardwood is the traditional style of flooring that requires a finish or stain to complete the look of the floor. Unfinished floors allow for more options for colors, stains and finishes, but requires lengthy installation due to the finishing process. |
