Door Wood Species
You can choose from the following species of wood:

Pine - We purchase our Ponderosa Pine from Oregon and Northern California regions. Pine is the softest of the woods that AutumnWOOD uses and has a hardness level of 460. Pine is quite uniform in texture. The heartwood is yellowish to light reddish brown and the sapwood is nearly white to pale yellow. It will have closed knots throughout the pieces of wood. Pine is often considered for more rustic uses and can be disressed to look like other woods.

Knotty Alder - Our Alder comes from the northwestern United States and has a hardness level of 590. Alder naturally has a light tan or light brown color with yellow or reddish tinges. Our Knotty Alder will have open knots that are best colored black - before finishing - with pitch. These knots tend to make the door look more rustic or distressed.

Oak - Our Red Oak comes from the areas around Arkansas and Louisiana. Oak is the hardest wood that we use, it has a hardness level of 1,060. The sapwood is white to very light brown and the heartwood is reddish brown. It has a very straight grain with a coarse texture. Oak holds well under extreme conditions. Oak has a very distinct look and has a very dressy appearance.

Select Alder - Our Alder comes from the northwestern United States and has a hardness level of 590. Alder naturally has a light tan or light brown color with yellow or reddish tinges. Our Select Alder will not have open knots but may have closed or small pin knots. Select Alder has a very contemporary look but can be distressed as needed.

Soft Maple - Our Maple comes from the areas around Arkansas and Louisiana. Maple is a very hard wood with a hardness level of 950. The sapwood is commonly white with a slight reddish-brown tinge, the heartwood is a light reddish brown that can sometime be very dark. Maple normally has a straight grain except when the grain forms the "birds-eye" patterns. Soft maple has a very dressy appearance and takes finishes well.
