Depending on the product, we use different finishing techniques.  For tables (dinner tables and coffee tables), we use Rubio Monocoat for the color.  We usually finish with about 4 to 5 coats of a water based zero to low VOC’s polyurethane.  Same with Chairs and stumps. For beams and mantles, we do the same, but only a couple coats of a sealer on the exterior since they don’t get used on a daily basis.  For vanities and cabinetry we also use several coats of a sealer on them.  Always water-based matte finish.  If you want to have an alternative sheen to your product with a satin, semi-gloss or gloss finish, that would be something to also go through our custom department to achieve the finish you want and desire for your project.  Please contact Ross Alan Design at info@rossalanreclaimed.com
