Finishing
LuxWood finishes are created with both beauty and longevity in mind. Our furniture undergoes a minimum of a 6 step finishing process that allows the natural splendor of the wood to shine through while protecting it from scuffs, dents, moisture, and household chemicals. Our finish choices allow you to create anything from a clear, natural wood look to a one-of-a-kind weathered heirloom appearance.
Character Finish
These artful combinations of durable finishing and authentic hand craftmanship create beautiful aged-looking finishes. Each of our distressed finishes begins with one of our standard stain colors. It is accented with a variety of character effects and complimented by a hand-rubbed glaze in a flat sheen topcoat. Different looks are achieved by combining various effects. See the effects listed below and on the next page to choose between the Standard or Old World Distressing.
Standard Distressing Includes:
Worm Holes - A Specific type of physical distressing that mimics naturally produced worm holes seen in old wood.
Round-Over -Light sanding over corners and edges to soften them, creating an aged and weathered appearance.
Hand Rubbed Glazes - A added layer of beauty that accents your furniture's character marks. The glaze leaves a delicate coating over the entire surface. It adheres wore visibly to corners, profile edges and detail areas.
Conversion Varnish - High quality conversion varnish top coat.
Old World Distressing Includes:
Artist's Marks - Impacting the furniture surface with various tools to reproduce wear, split marks, and other signs of age and weather.
