The above picture is three pieces of wood that have been "aged" using the layered process. They are, from left to right,..Special Walnut, Kona, and American Walnut.
Above is a picture of a table finished with a single American Walnut stain.
This table was finished using a layered process with American Walnut as the base stain. The color is much lighter and more washed out, giving it an aged, rustic look.
Depending on your decor, I offer both styles of finishing. There is an additional charge for the layered stain as it does require additional product and time to complete the look.
