Wood, stain & finish
Built in solid Red Oak, Brown Maple or Cherry (maple and cherry carry a per-size upcharge shown when you select them) with your choice of Ohio Certified (OCS) stain — the stain palette changes with the wood. Standard finish is a six-step catalyzed stain and varnish; Vintage, Antique and Weathered (wire-brushed) finish techniques are available as options. Hardware is included — pick any knob or pull from the Oakwood hardware selection.
