Custom Wood Species & Finishes
We specialize in a wide variety of custom wood species and finishes and our years of experience provide us a unique familiarity, enabling us to work efficiently with them. Contact us to discuss how we can accommodate your custom specifications.
Mahogany
Mahogany is the primary wood of choice here at Unique Wine Cellars. It is our standard across most of our product lines and resistant to rot, decay, and infestation. Its durability, beauty, overall quality and sustainability.
MAHOGANY FACTS
- A fine grain hardwood
- Harvested from government regulated & managed permanent forests
- Seasons/weathers well with minimal shrinkage and checking making it the choice of boat builders and furniture makers for hundreds of years
- Takes stain and finish exceptionally well
New England Pine
New England pine is used for our value wine racking and it also will create a durable, beautiful wine cellar. It is locally harvested here in New England and is backed by our great warranty.
PINE FACTS
- A fine grain softwood
- Mills smoothly and is affordable
- Harvested responsibly in Northern New England
- Far superior alternative to B Grade redwood
- Seasons well with minimal shrinkage and checking
Poplar
Poplar is our choice for our value line of doors. It’s easy to work with, decay-resistant, and holds up well to normal wear and tear. BONUS: it’s locally harvested and backed by the same warranty as our mahogany products.
POPLAR FACTS
- Poplar typically has a straight, uniform grain, with a medium texture
- Mills easily and is among the most economical of all domestic hardwoods
- When stained it mimics the look of finer woods such as maple
Sustainably Harvested Redwood
While it was abundant 100 years ago, California redwood is now a scarce, endangered resource. Most companies that still offer redwood do so with a high outer sapwood content. This wood is of low quality and does not possess any natural rot resistance. It is also multi-colored and does not take stain well.
If a company’s product is truly an all-heart redwood, it is not sustainable.
Composite Panels & Laminates
Composite Panels
Composite panels are a vital part of modern woodworking. They offer superior stability, sustainability, strength, and dimensional consistency to any project requiring flat materials. While solid woods are perfect for items like our slatted wine racks, matching composite panels are used in cabinet sides, shelves and bins.
Laminate
Some projects require a more durable material to stand up to wear and tear. For these projects we may specify a high pressure laminate applied to a composite panel. Laminates are strong and available in a vast array of finishes and colors. Common applications are on wine cabinet interiors and commercial countertops.
Stains and Finishes
Stains & Finishes
We offer a wide range of standard stain options that bring out the beauty of our wood species. Our clear guard matte lacquer top coat is a satin finish that increases durability and adds a gentle shine. Because most hardwoods contain a variety of colors and tones, this lacquer makes these natural wood grains and color tone variations more noticeable. We bring these characteristics to your attention because online product images may not provide an adequate idea of how finished products appear. It’s your responsibility to decide whether the natural characteristic of finished wood will satisfy you.
As a general rule, we do not offer unstained products with lacquer only. Our experience shows that lacquer accentuates a wood grain’s inherent tone too strongly for most people’s tastes.
Remember, computer monitors depict colors differently so they may not be a true representation of a finished product’s color. Request free samples prior to ordering if color is critical.
