Tavern finish grey and level 1 distressing

The Epitome of Care

All our tables are made from New England whitewood also known as yellow poplar. Harvested most commonly from the Appalachian Mountains, these hardwood trees will reach heights’ of up to 150 ft. tall. One of the best woods for a hand-hewn finish it allows for a wide variety of burning and distressing techniques.

Additional wood types are available but may require longer delivery times of your selected table. Contact us directly about your wood choice interests and how they will reflect on the final table cost.

Stains and Finishes

The Tavern finish - This is our most visually striking finish. We utilize a variant of the Sho sugi ban technique (FIRE) to darken the sweeping hard grain. Wire brushing back the burn from the spring grains allows us to apply any color you choose (Grey, Brown, Red, Purple, you name it) or we can match an existing color with extraordinary results. The dark grains are left raised, leaving a very satisfying tactile feel and a look that says this is no ordinary table. With this finish you can select your level of Distressing from the chart below, You may also mix and match different levels of distressing for your accessories and table top.

Example: I would like #1 on the main table but #3 on all my accessories and #4 on the leaves.

*This finish is VOC free keeping your home, pets, and children safe from chemical toxins such as formaldehyde that can leak from lacquered and Polyurethane finishes.
