Step One

  • We hand select the finest North America lumber.
  • All surfaces are meticulously hand sanded with fine grit sand paper to provide the ideal canvas for the finishing process.
  • Dust particles are blown, brushed, and wiped by hand from the surface prior to each step of the process.

Step Two

  • Depending on stain color, we utilize a specially formulated, two or three step colour process to achieve the final colour. First, a no wipe hand sprayed grain-enhancing dye stain is applied to enhance the natural characteristics of the wood.

Step Three

  • A no wipe hand sprayed pigmented stain is applied to soften and add a rich feel to the first stain coat.
  • Depending on final stain colour, a third no wipe hand sprayed pigmented stain may be applied to complete the color process.
  • Product is oven dried at specific times and temperatures before moving on to the first sealer coat.
Staining Process - Steps

Step Four

  • An environmentally conscious AC sealer is hand sprayed, then properly cured in a high temperature oven.
  • Product is seal sanded by hand in preparation for a second sealer coat.

Step Five

  • A second coat of AC sealer is hand sprayed, then properly cured in a high temperature oven.
  • Product is seal sanded by hand a second time in preparation for a top coat.

Step Six

  • A third dense coat of AC top coat with UV inhibitors is sprayed on by hand, then properly cured in a high temperature oven, providing a durable finish and pulling all the color from the multi step colour process to the surface.
  • The product is continuously monitored for quality and inspected for finish consistency. Gloss levels are checked using a sheen meter.
  • Product arrives at the final stages of manufacturing by way of overhead lines and staging carts, providing the most protection possible.
