7 Oak is noted for it’s open grain and varying patterns. There is a distinct difference in color between the open and closed grain of the wood. The finished product’s character is enhanced by these color variations. Oak is occasional- ly streaked with black, yellow and green mineral deposits. It’s color can range from a white or pink cast to a soft brown. Maple is a strong, evenly-textured wood with a natural luster. While it is very uniform, you will notice random mineral streaks, worm tracks, or birds-eye patterns. The grain is primarily straight, but can be wavy at times. Maple is a closed-grain wood that sands to a very smooth finish. As it ages, maple will take on a golden hue. Due to the density and hardness of maple,natural expansion and contraction may be more apparent at joints than with softer hardwoods.
