Finishes

Marx Et Al finishes are hand-applied and the result of natural chemical processes. We work to keep results within a predictable range, but some variation is inevitable — and very much part of the point. If you don't see what you need, we have many more options in our archives and are always happy to work on something custom.

Finish samples are $20 each, reimbursable on your next order.
