Patina Layer - After the entire piece has been hand-planed to create a nice

bench-made feel to the table, the craftsman layers on a black patina. This

is subsequently sanded off, but look around the piece, inside of grooves, in

the notches and distressing, and you will see these dark accents.

Sanding of the Patina - This is a crucial aspect of the finishing process and

must be done completely by hand. This ensures that just the right level of

distressing and patina is present to create the old-world feel of the

collection.

Sealer coats applied.

Lacquer Coats - Bonds with the sealer to create a highly moisture

resistant and durable finish.

Final Polishing and Touch Up.

The catalyzed process used by World Interiors will protect your furniture for generations.

However, while the catalyzation creates a bond between sealer & lacquer layers, care still

needs to be given to prevent scratching, putting excessively hot items on top, or using

acetone/nail polish remover which can harm the fine finish of these products.

In case of damage to the finish, an authorized Mohawk repair specialist can easily remedy

almost all finishes used through a simple repair process.

All reclaimed wood products are typically not finished with a sealant. Special attention and

care needs to be taken to ensure any spills are wiped up immediately. In the case that a

stain occurs, correcting the finish may involve sanding the wood with a fine sandpaper to

remove the stain.
