The blonde is called sap wood or heartwood. It runs all throughout the wood and BRI does try to cut around it as much as possible.

When mass-producers are going to make up 100+ of something, they will mix up a stain to darken down the sap wood. However, recognizing that each cabinet is a unique natural product, BRI does not try to darken these spots beyond trying to cut around most of these areas.
