Cabinet Finishing Techniques
Give your cabinet character
Finishing techniques are a great way to truly give your cabinets a unique look. Whether it’s creating those quaint distressed imperfections that give your cabinets a sense of identity, or enhancing the finishes and colors you’ve hand-chosen. Our finishing options optimize your style.
Heirlooming
Add character and depth to select finishes/colors with over-sanding on edges and profiles for a naturally worn-to-the-material appearance that gives an old world charm. The glazing will enhance areas of material exposed by over-sanding to take on the darker characteristics of the applied glaze for a finish/color that is warm and perfectly aged.

Extra Hewn
Extra Hewn is an aggressively burnished sanding technique applied to corners and raised profiles, exposing the underlying material.
