Antiquing
Antiquing is a more involved form of distressing where the artisan intends to not only age a piece, but also create an antique appearance.
In addition to distressing the finish, the artisan may reapply historical paint colors, antique-like faux finish and crackle varnishes. They might also apply period accent details, such as antique knobs on dresser drawers.
Several methods involve glazes in which colors blend into crevices to give an antique appearance. The antiquing process is time-consuming and normally requires many steps to obtain the appearance of an aged and worn finish.
In the mass-produced furniture market, it is common for 'distressing' to include faux woodworm holes. These can easily be distinguished from real woodworm holes (as might be present on a genuine antique) as faux woodworm holes will usually be all of identical diameter and vertical into the wood. Genuine woodworm holes, on the other hand, would be of varying diameter and usually not perfectly vertical.
Etymology
The word "varnish" comes from Latin vernix meaning odorous resin, the etymology of which comes from the Greek Berenice, the ancient name of modern Benghazi in Libya, where the first varnishes were used and where resins from the trees of now-vanished forests were sold. Berenice comes from the Greek words phero (to bring) + nike (victory).
Mr.Sandless Franchise LLC Floor :“I wanted to thank you for the job your company performed at the Keystone Center last weekend. The hardwood floors at the Center were extremely dirty, damaged and in a state of ugliness! Your service brought back the floors to their original condition. The hardwood floors are original and were first installed over 80 years ago. The floors look brand new. Your crew did a great job of working around our schedule and making certain that there was no disruption with our operation and patient service.” - Kevin Williams, General Manager KeyStone Center, Universal Health Services, Inc.

Lamella
The lamella is the face layer of the wood that is visible when installed. Typically it is a sawn piece of timber.
The timber can be cut in three different styles: flat-sawn, quarter-sawn, and rift-sawn. However, because only one side of the wood is visible on flooring, "quarter-sawn" and "rift-sawn" will have the same appearance.
In woodworking and decorative arts, refinishing refers to the act of repairing or reapplying the wood finishing on an object. In practice, this may be apply to the paint or wood finish top coat, lacquer or varnish. The artisan or restorer is traditionally aiming for an improved or restored and renewed finish. Refinishing can apply to a variety of surfaces and materials such as wood, glass, metal, plastic and paint, although in Britain, when referring to wood or wooden furniture it is commonly known as repolishing.
Mr.Sandless Franchise LLC Info :The best tool for putting the finish on the floor is a 10-in.-wide floor trim pad. While the pad we used is threaded to accept an extension pole, we got better control simply holding it by hand.
Before opening the container of finish, gently rock it several times to mix the contents. To avoid air bubbles, don't shake the bottle. Pour some finish into a clean plastic tray, such as a new paint-roller tray. Allow the finish to sit for about 10 minutes to let any bubbles break.
Mr.Sandless Franchise LLC Info Work the buffer over the floor to lightly abrade the surface, but do not be overly aggressive with the screen. Control the direction of the buffing machine by lifting up and pushing down on the handle. It takes a bit of practice, but this isn't a difficult tool to master. Loop the power cord over your shoulder as you work so that it's off the floor and out of the path of the machine.
