			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Cherry wood holds a distinguished place in history. Since olden times, Americans used cherry wood for making traditional furniture and cabinets. Cherry wood is the favorite of wood workers because it is very easy to work with this wood using hand instruments.</p>
<p>Cherry sapwood has a white creamy look. The heartwood ranges from deep red to light red tinged with a brown color and contains color streaks of yellow, pink or green. Tiny knots or holes are common on the surface. When exposed for a long time, the light rays and oxygen in the hardwood interact thereby producing a lustrous and rich hue or color.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Wood is the most prevalent material for kitchen cabinets. Choices are varied for many different styles of cabinets in beautiful woods such as cherry, walnut, oak, maple and other exotic woods. You can choose your style and give your kitchen a beautiful look in any design you prefer with wood.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-252" style="margin-left: 8px; margin-right: 8px;" title="kr_sm_4" src="http://www.directkitchencabinets.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/kr_sm_4.jpg" alt="" width="191" height="142" />Wood has been used to make all kinds of furniture and cabinetry since ancient times. Properties of different kinds of wood differ in color, texture, structure, water content, density, tensile strength and endurance.</p>
<p>The most common woods used to make kitchen cabinets include cherry, maple, oak and walnut. A wide selection of high quality kitchen cabinets is available in several styles, colors, sizes and brands at wholesale prices.</p>
<p>Cherry is hard, luxurious and rich with a grain that is subtle compared to other hardwoods. The smooth texture and fine grain impart a satin finish to this wood, which makes it ideal to design kitchen cabinets.</p>
<p><a title="Cherry cabinets " href="http://www.directkitchencabinets.com/Cherry.aspx" target="_blank">Cherry cabinets </a>are glowing and lustrous. While the sapwood is creamy white in appearance, the hardwood varies from red to brown. Some local varieties are available in streaks of yellow, pink or green. Country styled kitchen cabinets are best made of cherry.</p>
<p><a title="Maple" href="http://www.directkitchencabinets.com/Maple.aspx" target="_blank">Maple</a> is one among the most popular materials to make kitchen cabinets. Maple is extremely hard and is characterized by soft, flowing grains. Patterns on the surface are caused by a variation in density and this close-grained wood is one of the best choices to make kitchen cabinets in enamel or brown shades.</p>
<p><a title="Oak" href="http://www.directkitchencabinets.com/Oak.aspx" target="_blank">Oak</a> is durable and has unmatched wood quality, which makes it an ideal choice for making kitchen cabinets. Oak is an open- and straight-grained strong hardwood. The natural color of this wood ranges from pink to white. The natural knots, color and grain patterns of oak impart a rich and royal look to kitchen cabinets.</p>
<p>Walnut is a dark colored heartwood and is priceless due to its beautiful texture. Working on this hard and strong wood is relatively easy and its stability and exotic finish make it much sought after for kitchen cabinets.</p>
<p>Choose your favorite from among cherry, maple, oak or walnut to design your dream kitchen cabinets. Use the finest materials for your cabinets for durability, strength and endurance. Give your kitchen a classy look in your favorite style.</p>
<p>Whatever your favorite wood choice, <a title="DirectBuy" href="http://www.directhomediscount.com/" target="_blank">DirectBuy</a> has a beautiful selection for you to choose from to give your home the look of style you want.

]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Kitchen Cabinets are not only a primary focal point of your kitchen design, they are also a big investment. Generally about 40% of the total kitchen remodeling cost goes toward kitchen cabinetry. It&#8217;s also a very long-term choice, so making a smart choice that you will be happy with and enjoy is important.</p>
<p><a title="Quality counts when it comes to new kitchen cabinets" href="http://www.directkitchencabinets.com/" target="_blank">Quality counts when it comes to new kitchen cabinets</a>. Do your homework before you purchase new cabinets. If you want real quality, make sure you&#8217;re purchasing real wood and not particle board or other compressed types of woods.</p>
<p><strong>Four of the top choices in cabinets today include:<a href="http://www.directkitchencabinets.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/kr_sm_101.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-44" style="margin: 20px 6px;" title="kr_sm_101" src="http://www.directkitchencabinets.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/kr_sm_101.jpg" alt="" width="158" height="117" /></a></strong></p>
<p><a title="Oak" href="http://www.directkitchencabinets.com/Oak.aspx" target="_blank">Oak</a>, with its unbeatable durability, continues to be the most popular wood choice for kitchen cabinets.  Oak can be stained in a variety of tones to create the look you want.</p>
<p><a title="Maple" href="http://www.directkitchencabinets.com/Maple.aspx" target="_blank">Maple</a>, a very hard wood, is known for its uniform grain.  Many people prefer the light natural color of maple, but it also readily accepts other stains and finishes.</p>
<p><a title="Cherry" href="http://www.directkitchencabinets.com/Cherry.aspx" target="_blank">Cherry</a>, a mid to dark wood, has a distinctive grain that darkens and becomes more beautiful as it ages. Cherry creates a very elegant look in your home décor.</p>
<p><a title="Hickory" href="http://www.directkitchencabinets.com/Hickory.aspx" target="_blank">Hickory</a>, a dense wood, has a rustic appeal with patterns of various black, brown, and yellow hues.</p>
<p>No matter which type you choose, if you make sure  you&#8217;re getting quality wood for your kitchen cabinets, you&#8217;ll be making a wiser choice for such an important home improvement.</p>
<p>At <a title="DirectBuy" href="http://www.directhomediscount.com/" target="_blank">DirectBuy</a> you can choose from a wide range of kitchen cabinet styles, designs and types.
