TREATMENT INFORMATION

Only the Finest Finishes

Stain

If you chose either our cedar or pine materials, you can choose to include staining as part of your purchase. Cetol 1 by Prolux is internationally recognized as one of the best stains on the market. This stain creates a durable flexible film coating that penetrates the wood surface yet lets the wood "breathe" to accommodate constantly changing climatic conditions. It will not crack, blister or peel and is an excellent water repellent (water will bead on it).

This is Light or Dark Stain (Pine & Cedar)

Our industry-leading four-step staining process begins with a full immersion technique where each piece of wood is dipped in an 80-gallon vat of the Cetol 1 by Sikkens/Proluxe, which is equivalent to three coats of stain. Once dry, we hand-spray three additional coats of stain with fine hand sanding between each coat, achieving a beautiful long-lasting finish.

Caramel Stain (Clear Cedar Only)

This beautiful look can only be achieved by using clear cedar wood, which features a darker colored wood in the center of the tree. Our artisans hand-pick this darker wood and, coupled with our industry-leading four-step staining process, they merge to create the most stunning caramel hue available.

Oil

You can choose to include oiling as part of your Brazilian Walnut purchase. Prior to assembly, our oiling process includes the application of an oil-based natural wood finish to each individual piece of wood. Once dried, we reapply a second coat which will help seal the wood and protect your Brazilian Walnut furniture from exposure to the elements by stabilizing and nourishing the wood from within. We only use Ipe Oil Hardwood Deck Finish when treating our Brazilian Walnut. For at-home maintenance, simply wipe this or a paraffin-based oil such as Penofin Verte over your furnishings once a year.
