Well folks, as much as we love the mountains, we love the beach just as much! When we build one of these beauties in our shop, especially this time of year, I can’t help but think about the lovely coastal areas! This 6’x3′ farmhouse table has a weathered gray oak top and a linen white base. This piece will look fabulous in its new beach bungalow and is one of our best selling finishes for beach homes. We think it looks great with a grouping of simple steel chairs like shown and maybe some farmhouse accents and turquoise waters out the window. Sorry, I’m daydreaming ;)…
Back to the facts… This weathered gray look is not just a wood stain, we oxidize the wood. This is a chemical reaction that happens when you introduce iron to the wood. This process is most effective on red or white oak. We spray several light coats on to the oak & let it dry for 24hr. This leaves the bare unfinished wood with a gray weathered look. Next, we add a driftwood white stain to make the grain pop and then seal the table with three coats of satin sheen lacquer finishes. This commercial-grade finish is water-resistant & easy to clean. No water rings or spots will occur with normal use, unlike wax or oil finished pieces. To clean just wipe the furniture with light soapy water & dry with a soft dishcloth. You can also use any household furniture cleaner on the market. This is just an example of one of our many stain & paint options.
