What is the wood that the doors are made of and what finish?

6 years ago

I have unfinished knotty alder doors that look similar to these. My cabinets are about the same color. Wondering if you have the stain color and finishing information on the doors?

Hello Terry and thanks for the inquiry! The doors are in fact alder, and the stain is Sherwin Williams Mission Oak 50%

Here are a few examples of modern sidewalks. I think that I would replace, stain or cover the entry sidewalk with large rectangles of concrete or stone. I would also replace the door with a more modern door. Perhaps you could just paint the door that you have but definately remove the storm door or replace it. Paint the trim & facia a charcoal color would be nice. I think in the entryway I would cover the brick with a horizontal wood plank stained in a rich color and replace the light fixture. Upgrade landscaping by putting matching tall simple pots.

Beautiful art wall and table! I'd suggest a medium honey-colored stain. Given the likely heavy usage, the table top is one of the few places I'd suggest a polyurethane finish. Legs can be finished with e.g. tung oil as it is very easy to use and should be OK in the lower use area.

Wood dye is different than stain - I never worked with it but I think it soaks into the grain a lot more than stain which sits more on top. Make sure you try it out first on a scrap piece of oak (or the underside of your table).

Reclaimed wood

Hi EJ, I'm not going to be of much help, but I believe the obvious sources of reclaimed wood would be demolition and removal specialists in Singapore? At least that's how I know how antique dealers source vintage tiles in Singapore. Chatting with reclaimed wood furniture specialists like Journey East (https://www.houzz.com.sg/pro/journeyeast) might help too. And its true shipping costs from overseas would be prohibitive. Malaysia has always been this country's hinterland for raw material, and Indonesia has also played the part of being a significant sourcing ground for furniture makers in the region. You might want to (or have already) make sourcing trips to Central Java or Bali where costs might even be significantly lower than finding these pieces in Singapore.
