- The characteristics of the wood are less prevalent with painted finishes than with stained finishes.
- Since wood naturally expands and contracts, the joints on a door do the same. You may see hairline cracks in the finish surface at the joints. These joint lines are normal and do not affect the strength of the door’s construction.
- Most painted finishes are available only on maple due to the uniform appearance and smooth, clean characteristics of this wood.
