        "text": "A smooth finish is possible on many wood cabinets, but open grain, routed details, and existing surface damage affect the result. Context: “Smooth” can mean uniform color and touch, or it can mean no visible wood pores; those are different expectations. Grain filling adds labor and may change the character of the doors. Key factors: - Oak and other open-grain woods may retain texture without grain filler. - Raised panels and decorative profiles will still show their shape. - Strong side lighting can reveal sanding marks or uneven film build. Practical guidance: Define whether you want smooth color, smooth touch, or a fully grain-filled appearance. Review a sample under the same lighting used in the kitchen. Elite Remodeling & Design can align finish expectations with the chosen design style and surrounding materials.",
