Hemlock. Can it be used for cabinets?

It’s used as trim all the time in my area and should work out fine for a face frame.

Hemlock is actually very nice. I prefer the quartersawn better than the flatsawn for cabinetry because of the uniformity.

My fathers used CVG Hemlock for all the finishing trim work in his house.. he also ordered all hemlock 6 panel doors as well. Great wood when quartersawn, really nice color to it.

I was wondering the same. Around here some of the Amish saw mills cut hemlock but I dont know if I bought it from them if I would have to let it dry.
