Stallion Doors & Millwork

Communicating the natural characteristics of the many wood species is always a challenge to everyone in the wood industry. We have included the below information from our brochures to help guard against wood characteristics not meeting the customer’s expectations. If doors are ordered with a specific request to have or not have distinctive color or grain patterns, we are happy to accommodate our customers. It is truly unfortunate that the walnut characteristics did not meet the expectations in this case.

Walnut hardwood ranges in color from creamy white to dark brown. Typically a straight grained wood, however, this species produces a greater variety of figure types than any other. It stains and finishes well.

Like all living things, trees are affected by their surroundings. From seedlings to maturity, soil and weather conditions cause the development of distinctive grain patterns, mineral streaks and color variations. Susceptibility to change doesn’t stop after the tree is harvested. The finest hardwoods continue to respond to environmental stimuli as time goes by. Any changes in color, grain or texture variations that may develop are part of the unique characteristics of wood, creating the intrinsic beauty that fine hardwoods are known for. These unique characteristics are natural and neither the manufacturer nor the dealer can take responsibility for the conditions described above. Samples and photographic reproductions of wood tones do not always give the true representation of your door. We, at Stallion Doors and Millwork, stand behind the workmanship of our product, but cannot replace doors that have natural variations in color and wood grain.
