A 36-Inch Cherry Wood Hood Shell Ready for the Cooktop Wall

This Omega National Select Series range hood is a decorative cherry wood shell designed for wall-mount installation above a cooktop or range. The Broan-compatible liner is included so the shell is ready to receive a compatible Broan ventilation unit, ordered separately.

Key Features

• Cherry wood construction brings natural grain character to the kitchen hood position.
• 36-inch width suits a standard 36-inch cooktop or range installation.
• Wall-mount canopy design positions the hood body directly against the wall above the cooking surface.
• Broan-compatible liner included so the shell ships ready to accept a compatible Broan ventilator.
• Ready-to-finish wood accepts stain or paint to match the surrounding cabinetry.
• Not prefinished, giving the installer full control over the final color and sheen.

What the Shell Does in the Kitchen

This product is the decorative enclosure, the visible wood form that defines the hood's presence in the kitchen. It frames the wall above the cooking surface and creates the structure that a ventilation unit fits into. Because it is cherry wood and supplied unfinished, it can be stained to a warm tone that picks up the cabinet species, or painted to contrast. The canopy profile keeps the design clean and classic against the wall without requiring adjacent cabinetry to anchor the look, which differentiates it from mantel-style hoods that attach to flanking cabinet runs.

Wood, Finish Prep, and the Liner

Cherry is a close-grained hardwood that takes stain evenly and develops a warm, reddish-amber color over time with light exposure, making it a popular choice when the surrounding cabinets are cherry or when the design calls for a warm focal point. The shell arrives ready-to-finish: the surface is prepared for stain, paint, or a clear topcoat, applied on-site to match the project. The included Broan-compatible liner bridges the gap between the wood shell and the ventilation unit, seating the blower hardware into the hood body so the two work as one assembled installation. The ventilator itself is a separate purchase, sized to the cooktop and the room.

Where This Hood Shell Fits Best

This shell suits kitchens where cherry cabinetry is already in place and the hood needs to read as part of the same package, or where a designer wants the warm character of cherry as a standalone focal point on a painted or contrasting wall. At 36 inches wide, it aligns with a standard 36-inch range or cooktop. Cabinet shops and installers finishing a custom kitchen in cherry will find this shell a natural match: the unfinished surface means the hood can be sent through the same finishing line as the doors and drawer fronts for a consistent result across the entire kitchen.
