ABOUT OUR PEW FINISH...
Marshall's premium wood finish is the result of over 65 years of
experience in working with hardwoods. Incorporating the advantages of
modern finish polymers with the wisdom they have gained over the years working
with these woods, Marshall has produced the finest finish on the market. Below
are just two of the components which make Marshall's the best finish in the
industry.
 | Hand-rubbed filler - Hand-rubbed fillers are time consuming, but they are
crucial in producing what is known as a "Premium finish" in the
wood-working industry. Open-grain hardwoods like Oak are
"ring-porous" and have distinct figure and grain patterns. The
filler is used to fill or partially fill the pores of wood in order to advance
the final build and smoothness of the finish. The use of filler in the
finishing process is generally limited to horizontal surfaces fabricated from
ring-porous species. The Marshall Company uses a hand-rubbed filler on
the vertical surfaces as well as the horizontal to ensure a high
quality finish that stands out as superior in continuity and smoothness. |
| AWI #2 catalyzed lacquer - Catalyzed lacquer is a modified
nitrocellulose-based compound with a catalyst added for enhanced performance
and provides a smooth, almost imperceptible touch up finish for any nicks and
scratches in the surface finish that may occur in the future. The lacquer base
melds with the original layers of finish and then re-sets to a smooth repair.
Varnishes and polyurethanes, on the other hand, will produce a layered look
with any future touch ups or repairs. |
