Occasionally I am fortunate enough to work on a house where the homeowners are willing to spend money on quality materials and allow the time needed to create something of aesthetic value. I’m spending a few weeks doing clear fir moldings in a beautifully designed house on Vancouver’s west side. The details are simple and classic leaving the evenly textured vertical grain lumber to add depth and warmth. Even raw and unstained the wood creates a level of comfort that painted MDF will never possess. We’re using minimal fasteners to eliminate distracting nail holes and keep the lines clean. Projects like this make my job worthwhile.
After staining, someone wrote on a piece of masking tape across this door, at eye-level which has since peeled the stain off reading in big letters "GRAIN ULTRACOLOUR".
