R = Recommended:  These finish combinations refer only to the consistency of the finish and do not reflect on the aesthetic beauty of the combination
NR = Not recommended:  These finish combinations are problematic and do meet our standard for color consistency.  They may also highlight other characteristics such as machine marks or open end grains which cannot be considered as defects.  NR combinations are available but will require a 25% upcharge for additional labor.  Even if a door is purchased, we cannot guarantee that all doors will be consistent in color or appearance.  There is no guarantee on NR combinations.
NA = Not Available:  Such combinations present such application challenges resulting in such inconsistent appearance that these are not available.
