The following are the species of wood used in the manufacturing of Woodcraft ready-to-finish furniture:

Pine is a soft wood that comes from various parts of the world. We've chosen Eastern white pine, grown in the U.S. because of its yellow color and attractive brown knots. These attributes make it an excellent wood for staining.

Maple is a very light colored hard wood with an even grain texture. This wood is very durable and will take any color stain or paint well.

Northern Red Oak has a reddish cast and is a very hard wood with an open grain. This is an extremely durable wood that stains well.

Cherry has beautiful reddish brown to deep red color with lighter streaks of sapwood. The beauty of this hard wood and accompanying even grain has been a favorite choice of customers for centuries.

Parawood comes from the Far East and is yellowish in color with a grain much like oak. This wood is similar in hardness to maple with a rich texture and an ultra- smooth surface for quick and easy finishing. Parawood trees are plantation grown in Southeast Asia.

Parawood is used in our Spring Creek Line of furniture. Products are available unfinished or finished in golden oak, mahogany or white.

When you choose ready-to-finish furniture there are a broad range of options to meet your furniture and decorating needs. You have the choice of various wood colors, hardness and grain patterns. Each species has it's own distinct characteristics and grain patterns that make it unique.

Our furniture is made of solid wood and available in a variety of species including pine, maple, oak and cherry. Solid wood indicates that any exposed parts of the piece of furniture are made of a solid board or solid core plywood. No particleboard or medium density fiber board is used. Purchasing solid wood furniture is a wise investment for the future.

Another advantage is that you may add a new piece at any time, and have it finished to match your existing furniture. That typically isn't an option with pre-finished furniture.
