Hickory Wood Hood Shell for a Cabinetry-Matched Kitchen

This Omega National Straight Accent range hood is a 36-inch wide decorative wood shell in hickory, wall-mounted and supplied with a Broan-compatible liner so it is ready to pair with a separate ventilation unit.

Key Features

• Hickory wood construction brings natural grain variation that suits rustic, craftsman, and transitional kitchen styles.
• 36-inch width and 24-inch height fits a standard over-range opening in a wall-mount configuration.
• Straight accent valance gives the hood a clean, linear front profile.
• Broan-compatible liner included so the shell is ready to accept a compatible Broan ventilation unit, purchased separately.
• Not prefinished, so it can be stained or painted to match the surrounding cabinetry after installation.
• Wall-mount position installs against the wall above the cooking surface.

How Hickory Changes the Room

Hickory is one of the more visually active wood species available for cabinetry, with wide swings between light sapwood and darker heartwood running through every board. That character makes it a natural pairing for kitchens built around rustic, farmhouse, or craftsman cabinet lines where a hood that blends in by matching the wood reads better than one that stands apart. The straight valance keeps the front profile simple, letting the wood grain do the visual work without adding carved or curved detail that might compete with the cabinet doors. At 36 inches wide and 24 inches tall, the shell fits a standard hood bay and fills the wall space proportionally above a 36-inch range.

Shell, Liner, and What Goes in It

This product is the decorative enclosure, not the ventilation equipment. The hickory shell defines the look; the included liner creates the internal housing; and a Broan ventilator, chosen separately based on the cooktop and the room, provides the actual airflow. Because the shell arrives unfinished, the finishing step happens on site after install, so the stain or paint can be pulled directly from the cabinet finish already in the kitchen. That sequence, finish after install, is the standard approach for ready-to-finish wood hoods and ensures the color match is accurate rather than approximate.

Where This Shell Fits Best

Cabinet shops and kitchen designers specifying a hickory cabinet package will find this shell the most direct path to a coordinated hood without sourcing a custom enclosure. The straight valance suits layouts where the surrounding upper cabinets have simple, flat-front door styles. Homeowners finishing their own kitchen renovation who already have a Broan ventilator on hand can fit the shell and liner and finish the wood to match in one controlled process. The 36-inch width is one of the most common over-range sizing decisions, so it works across a wide range of standard kitchen layouts.
