Posted Wednesday, September 19, 2012 in Dining, Finish, Rosewood, Rubbed by darcypyper
Teak Oil Hand Rubbed Finish on Rosewood Live Edge Slab Dining Table Tube. Duration : 3.40 Mins.
Here is a short clip showing just one phase of the hand rubbed Teak oil finish that we do at Chai Alex Living on our custom live edge tables. In between each coat we sand starting with 150 grit sand paper for the first layer and working our way up to 1000 grit or higher. This depends on the clients request and the higher grade sand paper the higher the gloss finish. If you have any questions in regards to our production process or would like to see some of our finished pieces please feel free to email us at chaialexliving@gmail.com Thank you for your support.
