We specialized custom drawers using maple wood.  Maple is a North American hardwood that grows abundantly along the Eastern Seaboard. Maple is also receptive to a wider array of stains, including the dark and glossy finishes popular in cutting-edge contemporary design. Maple is naturally a reddish-brown color but can be stained to match a wide range of hues. This wood can be stained to match anything from a gray or darker red wood to ivory or honey brown. Maple displays several distinct grain patterns, including knotty maple and the beautiful and rare bird's eye maple.  Maple cabinets are both generally low maintenance because of their durability and resistance to scratches.  However, as you bake and cook in your kitchen, grease and grime are inevitably going to build up on kitchen cabinets no matter which kind of wood you choose.

To clean kitchen cabinets, simply use a commercial wood cleaner that is safe on your specific wood type or make your own eco-friendly DIY cleaner. To create your own cabinet cleaner, combine half vinegar and half water into a spray bottle with a few drops of dish soap.  Apply your cleaner to a sponge or soft cloth and gently scrub until stains are removed. Rinse the cleaner off your cabinet with a second sponge and water. Finally, dry off your cabinets with a clean towel to have your cabinets looking as good as new. 

Maple is a versatile wood and makes great kitchen cabinets because of its even surface and high resistance to stains and damage. 

Constant sun exposure can lead to the wood's finishing color fading over time or reverting back to its original deeper color. If you enjoy a light, airy look and sun exposure is something you can't avoid in your kitchen, then choose a lighter finish to maintain your ideal design. maple are categorized as highly durable and strong types of wood.
