Wood Grades

Select: Premium materials are used in the Select product line, allowing for color matching throughout the entire order. Within some species, however, there will be some slight color variations, pine knots, gum and mineral stain that are unavoidable. Sticker stain is not allowed on the face of Select products. Panel staves are random width (not less than 1-1/2” nor greater than 3-1/2” within the raised area). Sherwood recommends Select for a natural to light finish, as well as pickling with some species. Slight color variations may be evident when finished natural. Select is not offered for all species.

Stain: This is Sherwood’s standard grade. Within this grade there will be some variation in color throughout the order and within individual products. Materials will be matched to produce a pleasing blend of color on the face of the products. Some species may have greater variations than others. Likewise, there may be some limited and well-scattered pin knots, fleck, vine mark, seasoning checks, gum or pitch pockets and mineral stains. Sticker stain is not allowed on the face of Stain products. Panel staves are random (not less than 1-1/2” nor greater than 3-1/2” within the raised area). Sherwood recommends Stain grade for a medium to dark finish.

Paint: Paint grade is a blend of several close (tight) grained woods such as Soft Maple, Hard Maple, Birch, Poplar and Cherry (Species will not be mixed within a panel). Open grain woods are not recommended for painting unless a specific appearance is desired. Paint grade may contain a limitless amount of natural characteristics and color variations; however, there will not be any unsound knots, pitch pockets, etc. Panel staves will not be less that 3/4” in width within the raised area. Sherwood recommends paint finishing only in this grade.
