Finish Types

Finish is one of the last things that needs to be decided.  As long as you know what category of finish you want (see categories below).

We offer samples of most of our options that can shipped to an already paying customer.  We just request the samples be returned before we ship/deliver your item.

Stain

We offer a large variety of stain options as part of our base charge.  For an upcharge, we do the brand stain of your choice.  May require customer to ship stain to woodworker.  

Paint

We usually suggest brown maple wood for painted items.  We can do just about any solid paint color.  Black & white are popular options.  We can also match colors  or use a color of your brand of choice (for an upcharge & may require customer to ship directly to the woodworker)

Glaze

Glaze is a thin film of color (usually a little thicker than stain) that is painted over the  base coat on a piece of furniture.  When applied, the glaze attaches itself down into the crevices, lines, and ridges with very little running.  It is used to add a rich dimension to create the look of an authentically aged finish from another era.  

Two Tone

Two tone is two finish options on the same piece.  Typically one is used on the bottom part & another on the top part.  This is offered for both paints & stains.
