Wood Graining

The greatest architectural masterpieces our world has today were created at a time when labor was inexpensive and resources were unlimited. Today the sheer number of skilled man-hours necessary and the unavailability of some materials like 12-inch oak boards means new techniques had to be developed. Enter faux finishes. Artech Church Interiors can offer you the services of expert painters who are masters at applying faux finishes such as marbleizing and wood graining. As a single project faux finishes can make a dramatic impact on the beauty of a church and as part of a larger renovation project the effect can be truely breathtaking.

These photos demonstrate Artech's talent for wood graining. The first picture helps to illustrate just how dramatic the difference before and after wood graining can be. The second picture is a close-up of wood graining in progress...notice the unfinished portion near the top of the beam. The final picture shows how naturally the work fits in when the project is complete.
