Hardwood
**************************************************************************
NOTE: Manufacturers use a variety of wood species
in the production of kitchen cabinets. To specify a

restrict competition. When indicating finishes,
such as "light oak," "medium walnut," etc., a wood
species should be included in the finish designation
for use as a guide to the wood grain character and
appearance.

All exposed wood surfaces shall be hardwood of species consistent with
specified finish. Species used need not be that indicated by finish named,
but must be similar in grain character and appearance.
