Échantillon de chêne rouge blanchi

The white wash finish has a lovely matte quality that really lets the red oak grain show through. I held it up against my kitchen cabinets and the color is a perfect match for what I was hoping to achieve.

The lime wax layer gives it a silky feel that you don't expect from a sample piece, and the white wash is so faint it just brightens the oak grain instead of covering it. I've been holding it up against my cabinets all afternoon and it's exactly the airy, coastal look I wanted.

The white wash finish is really subtle and smooth, not chalky at all—the hand-applied lime wax gives it a soft sheen. I held it next to my existing floorboards and the color blend is nearly perfect. Exactly what I needed to confirm the stain before ordering the full batch.
