This front door in North Vancouver was one of our most gratifying projects of the year. The discerning client wanted a natural yet durable finish for their Nigel Parish custom-designed front door made of white oak. We settled on Penofin's Brazillian Nut Oil; three applications of this absorbing oil were applied by ox-hair brush, wet-sanded via our power sanding-vacuuming system and then ragged off. Graduated sanding to 400 grit, coupled with the open time of this coating allowed us to achieve a piano smooth patina that had a delicate glow to it. We love natural, oil-based products for this type of situation. Builder: D Mclean Construction Architect / Interior Designer: Splyce Design - Nigel Parish
