Strength and beauty of oak
Notes:
- If you’re looking for a species that is traditional as well as exceptional, choose oak. Species within this genus exist all over the world and have been cherished by many cultures for centuries.
- It’s about as tough as wood gets, so you know buying an oak door is buying a door that will last. In the U.S., the most common and sustainable variety is white oak.
- For those looking for subtle grain texture, white oak has a very smooth appearance which allows the color of the stain to be emphasized. As it’s a very pale color of wood, it also excepts a wide variety of stain colors with great results.

The majesty of mahogany
Notes:
- Few species are as well-known and admired as mahogany. Besides being amazingly durable, mahogany wood is deeply beautiful. Best of all, it’s known for dark and rich finishes commonly found in luxurious spaces and valuable antique furniture.
- While many people might think these rare applications of mahogany equate to fragility, this species is just as long-lasting a choice for exterior garage doors and external-facing entryways.
- Often what makes antique mahogany more delicate is not the wood, but rather a less resilient finish. Any door will have the latest weatherproof seal, so you don’t have to worry about extra maintenance with this elegant wood species.

Rustic beauty of knotty alder
Notes:
- Not enough people know about and appreciate the magnificent look of alder. Besides being one of the most durable wood species for exterior doors, this species is a statement piece. Its trademark feature is its knots which is where it gets its name.
- Most wood species have noticeable knots or grains, which are visible as blobs or streaks darker than surrounding areas after staining. Knotty alder is unique in that it has many highly symmetrical and often evenly spaced knots.
- When stained, alder looks best in rich gold color, and the knots tend to contrast as a deeper brown tone. Nothing says luxurious cabin getaway like alder.
