Crackle Finishes
Our crackle finishes are like a journey down memory lane.
As finished surfaces age the paint and or varnish can crack. The randomness of natural crackling creates old world charm. Like that old cupboard from your local antique shop, natural crackle finishes can be love at first site.

Crackle Stain Like paint, varnish finishes can crack too. Our Crackle stain is not painted, but still has crackling on the surface. The cracks are much like crazing found in pottery. |
