A Hickory Wood Hood Shell That Anchors the Kitchen Wall

This Omega National straight accent range hood is a 36-inch wide decorative wood shell in hickory, designed to wall-mount above the cooktop and tie into the surrounding cabinetry with a clean, straight valance profile. A Broan-compatible liner is included.

Key Features

• Hickory wood construction brings pronounced grain character and natural variation to the hood wall.
• Straight accent valance gives the lower face a clean, linear profile that suits both traditional and transitional kitchens.
• 36 inches wide by 30 inches tall to frame a standard 36-inch cooktop position with presence.
• Broan-compatible liner included so the ventilator pairing is already addressed when the shell arrives.
• Wall-mount design positions the shell above the range against the wall rather than in a ceiling application.
• Unfinished and ready to finish so stain or paint can be matched to the surrounding hickory or painted cabinetry.

How Hickory Changes the Look

Hickory is one of the most visually active wood species available for cabinetry: its grain alternates between light sapwood and darker heartwood in the same board, and no two hoods will look exactly alike. That natural contrast works well in a kitchen that already carries hickory cabinetry, where the hood becomes a continuation of the same character rather than an insertion of a different material. It also holds up in a transitional design where the grain movement adds warmth against a more restrained palette. Because the shell arrives unfinished, the stain or paint coat applied on site controls how much of that contrast reads in the final space. A lighter wash lets the grain breathe; a darker stain reads more uniform. The 6-3/16-inch depth keeps the profile relatively shallow at the wall so the hood sits close to the surface rather than projecting far into the room.

The Shell, the Liner, and the Ventilator

This product is the decorative wood enclosure. It does not move air on its own. The included Broan-compatible liner is the metal housing that fits inside the shell and accepts a Broan ventilation insert, which is selected separately to suit the cooktop size and ductwork configuration. That three-part relationship, shell, liner, and ventilator, is how a wood hood installation comes together. Having the liner already in the box removes one ordering step and confirms that the shell and liner are matched for fit.

Where This Hood Fits

This shell is the right choice for a kitchen where the cooktop is positioned against a wall and the surrounding cabinetry is hickory or will be finished to coordinate with it. At 36 inches wide, it covers a standard single-range position. Cabinet shops building a hickory kitchen and specifying the hood to complete the wall will find the straight valance easier to integrate into a run of flat or Shaker-style doors than a curved profile would be. Designers working with a transitional or craftsman-influenced plan can use the unfinished state to dial in a custom stain that reads as part of the cabinet package rather than a separate appliance element.
