Antique Distress
Similar to Light Antique Distress, this option also includes deep veins embedded into the wood for an aging effect that is highly textured, quite lovely and undeniably authentic. Perfect with architecture that conveys an Old World sensibility.



Arizona Distress
Lightly planed with a wide, flat knife for a more subtle wave appearance and chatter impressions, Arizona Distress conveys simple charm and hominess that transcends many styles--from French Chateau to Colorado Lodge.



European Distress
Featuring small, random, indentations throughout the surface, along with randomly worn, rolled edges on a smoother, polished surface, European Distress captures a look that is Old World and refined in one, and that complements virtually every architectural stye.



Hand-Planed
Diagonal hand planes emphasize the nuances of the wood grain, and give your door a carefully handcrafted feel, equally at home in modern and rustic farmhouse style architecture.



Heavy Sanded Regular Distress
Featuring an even sanded surface texture with random broken edges combined with top impressions for contrast, Heavy Sanded Regular Distress has even more dimension, for a style that showcases the wood grain gracefully. Prairie style, Bauhaus, Arts & Crafts and Saxon styles complement this look ideally.



Light Antique Distress
Heavily planed with a narrow, deep knife for a visibly distinctive wave and chatter impressions, Light Antique Distress captures the light and dimension of the wood grain. Whatever your architectural style, this option gives your door an olden time grace and sense of history.



Regular Distress
Featuring top impressions with scratches, wormholes and small nicks and gouges, Regular Distress gives an authentically worn look to your door's surface. It's a subtle look perfect for Arts & Crafts, Prairie style and Modern Country.



Rocky Mountain Distress
Achieve a more informal feel with Rocky Mountain Distress. Here, we use heavy planing and a wide, deep knife to create a distinctive wave feature along with light chatter impressions on top. It looks at home in more relaxed Spanish, Alpine and French Country environments.



Sanded
Hand-sanded textures, standard on all our woods except Cedar, create a smoother, more polished surface that flatters the grain and emphasizes the natural beauty of the wood. It's a more formal and sophisticated look that's highly versatile as well.



Santa Barbara Distress
Chiseled, scraped and sanded with light impressions, Santa Barbara Distress captures a naturally worn feel, best on Incense Cedar with a glazed finish. Only available in Cedar.



Tucson Crafted
Hand-hewn finish with scalloped details, Tucson Crafted evokes a feeling reminiscent of pounded copper. From Renaissance to Neo-Classical to Art Nouveau, this distress works well with them all.



Wirebrushed
Available only on Cedar, this time-honored technique brings vibrance and energy to the wood by duplicating the natural weathering process to accentuate the wood pattern and grain. Standard with our Cedar wood, Wirebrushing requires less maintenance than our Sanded textures. Its rough, rustic durability is both charming and reminiscent of an older time.
