Rift-Cut White Oak Cabinetry

What is rift-cut white oak cabinetry?

This kind of lovely cabinetry is made from white oak that is cut at a 90-degree angle against the tree’s growth rings. This guarantees a straight, uniform grain which creates a modern, sleek look. Often used in kitchen cabinetry design, it can provide a seamless flow to adjoining spaces with built-ins.

Versatility
The direction of the rift cut white oak grain can be either horizontal or vertical, with or without cabinet hardware.

Modern Appeal
The clean lines and sleek look of this woodgrain has gained much traction and popularity. Various stain options can provide a cooler or warmer feel to the space. Touch latch doors provide a minimalist look while adding some simple hardware moves toward a transitional aesthetic.

Horizontal Patterns

Kitchen cabinetry blends seamlessly into the adjoining space with media center and built-ins made of the same rift-cut white oak cabinetry.

A darker, warm stain was used in this Chicago kitchen renovation. The media center blends seamlessly with the kitchen.

Vertical Pattern

This cabinetry design uses a vertical pattern and cabinetry pulls for the paneled refrigerator doors. See more of this Chicago kitchen.
