This is a dining room that we did. This is actually Poplar hardwood and maple ply. We will call this the Paintstained project. Customer wanted faux wood instead of real wood. Give Kudos to the finisher Mike Marriot and his crew for a wonderful job. Sometimes it’s sad to only take credit for the woodwork. In this case I’m honored to have gotten to build this project period.
In time I will be posting other pictures of this home. We did all the cabinetry in everyroom, and they are all this level of detail if not more. I am very anxious to share the kitchen, but I don’t have picks of the finished job yet. Thanks for looking

Gorgeous looking stuff. Kind of weird painting wood to look like wood. Thanks for sharing.

The woodworking is beautiful, but I’m blown away with the finish. Does the finish look that good in person?? If it does, that is a wicked piece…
Thanks for sharing and showing us what we can do with great finishes.

Yep, the finish deos look that good and better in person. He is the best finisher I know bar none, and I’ve seen a lot. Thanks for the compliments.

Very nice! I’m blown away with the finish. The woodworking is well done and worthy of the finish.
A few questions…
Are those HVAC vents or molding details in the baseboard? Either way, they look nice.
Did you make or outsource the doors?
Did anyone get any hints on why the customer didn’t want real wood? The finished product looks terrific, but I love to understand customer thought processes.

Beechpilotbarry, that is a moulding inserted into a groove in the base. It is the same detail that is right above the doors. I made the arched door because it was faster and easier then sending a template to the door company, however, since we did this whole house and we need to make money somehow, we did order the doors. It was the designers choice to go with a faux finish that mimics more of a burl effect. I think he did great, but I still would rather see the grain of real wood. Thanks for the comments

Great job. Looks like some of the work we have been doing lately. As for the finish….....who knows what the thought processes are of some of the designers we all deal with. Like using alder and painting it black or using walnut and putting a dark finish on it that you can’t even see the grain. Sometimes I wonder where they were schooled at.
Again, great work and the finisher should be commended on a job well done.

I usually cringe when I hear that people painted wood… but that looks great! Your attention to the details in the project really highlight your craftsmanship.

Hi Kolwdwkr;
Truly inspiring workmanship!
I’m with you in agreeing the finish is brilliant, but would still prefer to see the wood.
As always, Great job!
