A Shaker style door in cherry can go from traditional with a brass knob to contemporary with a nickel pole.  Maple has eclipsed oak as the most popular wood for cabinet doors. Cherry comes in third, followed by hickory and pine. Light stains will let the natural beauty of the wood show through.  Wood-Mode Cabinetry    For over 50 years Wood-Mode has been providing discerning homeowners with the finest custom cabinetry available.
