Wonderful world of Wood and the True Beauty in Wood

No matter the product if it is crafted from wood there is true natural beauty that can't be denied.

When we choose a wooden product it comes with all the characters and colours. The beauty of the natural wood can bring a calming effect to a home, cabin or even tree-house! There are many different types of wood and many types are used in making doors. The main wood types Dayna's Doors offers come in Hemlock and Knotty Alder.

Hemlock is most commonly paired or compared with Fir as they have very similar marking and colours. In fact most people even professionals can't even tell the difference! It all depends on the conditions the trees grew in, we can however tell a difference between a Chinese Hemlock and a North American Hemlock because of their distinctive markings within the grain. Take this picture to the left a Hemlock 3 Panel Shaker door has a vertical grain and is quite lite in colour. If you look closely the colours within the panels range from an almost yellow/golden to a more pink colour. This is because the pieces may have come from different trees or different sections of the tree. You will always be able to see the difference in the colours in the panels and it is quite beautiful to see all the varying hues within the wood- especially when you finish them in a clear stain. A clean grain is accomplished through the Hemlock doors.


It is truly amazing how wood in a room can transform the feeling of a home or style. The natural beauty wood brings into a room is like no other, definitely not accomplished by using hollow core doors or products


Now if you are looking for a little more character to you home or cabin please take note of the following door. This door below is a Knotty Alder 3 Panel Square Top Shaker it is the exact same style as the one above (The Hemlock 3 panel above) but has a lot more character!

Again when a stain is put on the wood beautiful tones and colours come out of the wood, the natural beauty comes from the different hues within the panels. You will always have variances in the colours and tones in the wood. In fact the more differences and knots in these Knotty Alder doors the better!

Renovations bring on new excitements and buzz in the atmosphere as the home transforms and changes to fit your style. Choose a door that fits your character!!
