Custom Cabinet Finishes

Canon Kitchen and Bath can apply any type finish to your cabinets and also create many antique or  “period looks” through artificial aging, such as distressing, crackle, pickle, rub-thru, wear cornets, dints & dings and others.  Finishes include stains, stain & glaze, paint, paint and glaze, or combinations.

Custom Finishes

Natural wood finish
Natural Wood - Leaving the wood unfinished except for a light transparent topcoat for protection.

 

stain wood finish
Stain - A catalyzed process stain is applied to the wood to add color.

 

stain and glazeStain & Glaze - After staining, a contrasting glaze is applied to the wood and wiped off.  The Glaze will adhere in the natural nooks and imperfections of the wood surface and between any moldings to provide a contrast and complementary color.

paint finish cabinetPaint - A high-grade enamel is applied to paint-grade wood in the desired color. Paint-grade wood is typically a very tight-grained wood like sycamore, birch or poplar that will take paint well without any grain showing through.

paint and glaze finish cabinet
Paint & Glaze - As with the stain & glaze a contrasting glaze is applied and wiped off.

Artificial Aging

Distressing - Distressing is a technique
of artificially aging the wood to give an
"antique" or period look. There are many
different types of distressing including:

Crackle - Cracks in paint/finish
that mimics long weathering of
painted surface complete with
patina imparted by airborne
elements, which settle in the
cracks over time.

Rub-thru - Finish or wood
showing through at wear spots,
tapered corners or crested areas.

Natural Wood - Leaving the wood unfinished
except for a light transparent topcoat for
protection.     
              
Wormholes - Simulation of holes left by boring
worms or larva. These can either be grouped in a
random pattern or as select holes in random
areas.

Round or Square Pegs - Single round or square
dowels placed in corners with end grain showing
to mimic antique joinery.

Fly Specs - Spatter marks resembling fly specs.

Cow Tails - Like fly specs except curved like a
comma.

Chain Dents/Dings - Small indentations
simulating wear and tear over time.

Wear Corners - Sanding through on corners to
give worn effect.

Rasping - Rasping as the name implies is done
with a rasp, a tool similar to a file with rough
biting teeth on one surface. Rasping can be
either light or hard. Light rasping gives a hand-
tooled look, whereas heavy rasping leaves a
rough scar across edge.
