Mill Creek Kitchens Adds Lyptus Wood Species to Cabinet Selection
Dura Supreme introduces new exotic wood species

Tulsa, OK. -  August 1, 2005 -  Mill Creek Kitchens is adding Lyptus to its expansive offering of wood species in its Dura Supreme Designer and Alectra cabinetry lines.  A relatively new, plantation-grown wood species, Lyptus resembles mahogany with its rich, red coloring and its tight grain pattern.  Lyptus can be seen on display at Mill Creek Kitchen’s newly remodeled show room located at 7011 E 40th St in Tulsa, OK.

“This wood species offers a very unique look for cabinetry,” explained Chris Berger, Director of Marketing.  “It lends itself to a variety of looks, from contemporary to traditional to rustic, and yet it offers our customers a completely different look than what is afforded with the familiar oak, maple, and cherry woods.  It’s also an outstanding design option to be able to offer for out semi-custom and custom cabinetry.”

The wood species is available for Mill Creek’s most popular door styles and is available in 10 different colors.  A new collection of “distressed” finishes is also available for Lyptus.

Mill Creek Kitchens is owned by Mill Creek Companies, a chain with six lumberyards, a custom mill, architectural woodworking plant, a wholesale operation, a professional tool and fastener retail operation, a commercial flooring division, and seventeen retail carpet and tile stores.  The company, headquartered in Tulsa, has locations in eight Oklahoma cities, as well as five locations in Texas.  The company was founded in 1934, and today is owned by the Jim Dunn family of Tulsa and employs over 400 full time employees.  Jeff Dunn presides as the current President with his father, Jim Dunn as Chairman.
