(Notes from the Manufacturer)
Gerstner Woods and Color Options:
The pictures on our website are a good overall representation of the colors of the products that we sell. The photography does utilize some lighting techniques that can make them appear slightly lighter in tone. Due to the nature of wood and the variety of grain patterns in even a single piece of wood, all products will have slight variations from the color shown. The exposure of wood to light will change their original color, due to this fact, we cannot guarantee color matches on units purchased separately. If you have a product you would like matched we would need a drawer or some other piece from your chest to aid us in matching your new chest to the older one. See below for explanations of our various woods and colors available. Custom colors and some color matching is also available, contact us for more information.
Golden Oak (This item is in Production and not available yet)
Golden Oak products have a medium to dark golden stain color. This color is similar to the natural aging process that occurs in chests that we see over 40 years old. This golden color gives them an antique look that brings out the richness of the grain patterns. We only use quarter-sawn white oak, which is renowned for its stability and unique "tiger striping" grain. From hardwood flooring to whiskey barrels, fine furniture to tool chests, Quarter-sawn White Oak has been a standard construction hardwood of the finest craftsmen for 100’s of years. Your new oak chest can darken over time.
American Cherry
American Cherry products have a light to medium fruitwood colored stain which accents and highlights the natural grain patterns of Cherry wood. Cherry wood has a beautiful flowing and curvy grain pattern that includes naturally occurring “mineral streaks” and “pitting”. The mineral streaks, which can show as darker grain lines and the pitting, which are like tiny knots are part of the natural character and beauty of Cherry. As Cherry ages, it darkens over time adding additional depth and tone to the color of the wood. Grain patterns and other characteristics of the wood add to the elegance and uniqueness of each Cherry product we make.
