Abstract:
Disclosed is a method for treating a grained material. A nonlimiting example of the method includes the operations of providing a workpiece having grains, exasperating a surface of the workpiece to open the grains, applying at least one coat of a base paint to the exasperated surface, applying at least one layer of clear coat on the base paint, applying at least one of a glaze and a paint on the clear coat, and surface treating to reveal grains of the workpiece. Disclosed also are items of furniture and sheet materials treated by the aforementioned process.

Claim (Index 1):
A method of treating a piece of grained material to provide a new and unique visual appearance, the steps comprising:\n providing a piece of grained material having a top surface, a first side surface, a second side surface and a bottom surface, wherein the top surface has a grain pattern; preparing the top surface of the piece of grained material by sand blasting; applying a first layer of base paint of a first color; allowing the first layer of base paint of the first color to dry; sanding the first layer of base paint of the first color after it dries; applying a second layer of base paint of the first color onto the first layer of base paint of the first color after it dries and is sanded; allowing the second layer of the base paint of the first color to dry; sanding the second layer of the base paint of the first color after it dries; applying a first layer of clear coat on the base paint; allowing the first layer of clear coat to dry; sanding the first layer of clear coat after it dries; applying a second layer of clear coat onto the first layer of clear coat after it dries and is sanded; allowing the second layer of clear coat to dry; sanding the second layer of clear coat after it dries; applying a first layer of a second paint of a second color on the clear coat; working the first layer of the second paint of the second color into recessed surface contours of the grains of the piece of grained material; allowing the first layer of the second paint of the second color to dry; sanding the first layer of the second paint of the second color after it dries such that the first layer of the second paint of the second color remains in the recessed surface contours of the grains of the piece of grained material but is removed from areas above the recessed surface contours of the grains of the piece of grained material; applying a first layer of top coat on the second paint of a second color after it dries and is sanded; allowing the first layer of the top coat to dry; sanding the first layer of clear coat after it dries; applying a second layer of the top coat on the first layer of clear coat after it dries and is sanded thereby sealing the surface treatment.
