My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Have barn boards in my house

12 years ago
Is there any finish that can be applied to seal wood? Is this cabinet left plain?

    Spray 3-4 coats of general finishes endurovar flat. Wire brush first and used compressed air to clean. Will turn out great.

    Thank you for the info. I'm a bit afraid about the wire brush part, i didn't get gentlysilvered boards for my cabinet but 200 year old boards, worried that wire brush will turn the outside ridges to dust!

    The wire brush is used to get 200 years of dirt off and get rid of some of the splinters. If you don't think a wire brush will work then maybe a palm sander (slow) or orbital with 220 grit and a light touch can clean things up pretty well.
