Chaddock’s critical wood finishing step called “distressing” elevates a furniture design from average to extraordinary.

Distressing is the by-hand artisan process that adds character, nuance and depth to the finish of new wood furniture. Chaddock’s distressing process enhances the unique and intrinsic characteristics of individual wood species, teasing out wood’s natural beauty and preparing it for our multi-step finishing process. Pick, chain loop, chisel and rock, Chaddock artisans use a variety of tools to achieve just the right look. Your look!
