French Polish Finish
Showing the Upper Crust Side of Wood
Saw Cut Texture
When you need wood that's industrial and rugged, look no further than a Saw Cut Finish. Give that piece a heavy visual feeling.
Weathered Finish
Sometimes new wood doesn't seem appropriate. Sometimes, you can't find old wood. Distinguished and grain heavy, this finish won't disappoint.
Inlaying
Inlaying is the careful art of placing one material flush inside another. BOSSWoodworks is your Inlay Specialist!
Skip Planing
When wood is initially milled, it's left in a very rough state. This look can be very desirable in any rustic or distressed style setting.
French Polishing as a Finishing Technique
French Polishing is the technique used when you desire a glass-like or mirror finish. It uses shellac built up gradually into many thin layers. The finishing time is lengthy, and this process is usually reserved for main-display items such as tables and rocking chairs.
Created by 10 or more very thin layers of specialized shellac (with a hand polish between each coat, French Polishing stands out as one of the finest finishes you can apply to wood. It creates "Chatoyance," the word used to describe a pearlescent glimmer or luster suspended in the middle of the clear coat.
The more coats the better! At BOSSWoodworks we utilize a minimum of 15 passes of shellac and polish to bring the deepest chatoyance possible to the pieces of custom woodwork we create.
