about our custom cabinetry

It is the meticulous hand work employed by the skilled craftsmen that Wood~Mode cabinetry is renowned for. The cabinetry is furniture quality with a silky smooth finish; many companies try to imitate their fabulous finish. If you are interested in learning more about their building process, be sure to check out the video 1,000 touches at the bottom of this page.

From the very beginning, Wood~Mode has been obsessed with perfection in its finishes. As described on their website, Wood~Mode offers the following arcane description of their unique hand finishing process:

• Multiple hand and machine sanding and oven-baked drying operations are used on every finish to insure long-lasting quality and durability.
• ​Eight hand distressing options—dents, nicks, rasping, worm holes, joint cracks, rub throughs, splits and wear-aging techniques—are used to produce an antiqued character and flavor.
• Wood~Mode’s process of wetting the wood to raise the grain, along with one-and two-step hand staining, produces deep colors with enhanced wood grain and beauty.
• Uniform color in the wood is achieved with toning and spray staining applications.
• Time-tested hand-padding, hand cow-tailing, hand-burnishing processes are used to add further antique furniture appearance.
• To produce the many different looks when it comes to enhancing the finish, six different hand-glazing techniques are offered by Wood~Mode.
  
• Catalyzed sealer, hand-sealer sanding, spec distressing and catalyzed matte or standard sheen varnish spray operations are used to create lifetime durability and beauty on our stained custom cabinet wood products. Wood~Mode’s catalyzed oven-baked varnish top coat with ultraviolet screen inhibitors provides maximum resistance to scuffing, dents, moisture, UV fade and most household chemicals.
  
• Our opaque finishes receive high quality sealer, primer and catalyzed color coats to insure beauty and lifetime durability. An extensive hand-sanding operation is performed between each spray application.
  
• Our multi-step hand-buffing process creates the smoothest, richest patina imaginable.
