White River Hardwoods offers 7 Fabulous Finishes in Metalwood™ for all of our beautiful hardwood mouldings and hand-carved woodcarvings. MetalWood™ comes in real-metal finishes and provides the authentic look and feel of metal. There is no expensive, time-consuming faux finishing to be done on the jobsite. These Fabulous Finishes are especially well-suited for Mon Reale® mouldings and our Authentic Hand-Carved® Woodcarvings.

MetalWood™ Finishes

	Bronze A timeless classic metal that has endured unlike any other. Hand-rubbed to reveal subtle variations in the metal and to accent natural shadows.
	Copper There is no substitute for the warm and subtle glow of this beautiful hand-polished metal.
	Copper Patina Patina complements the subtle glow of copper, giving it a pale-green, naturally aged and weathered look and creating character and Old World charm.
	Nickel The glimmer of hand-polished nickel presents a beautiful contrast to dark spaces.
	Iron Rust The strength of this great metal adds instant history and character to any surface. This finish will continue to rust naturally.
	Aluminum A silver-white metal that is cool, contemporary and strong.
	Antique Brass A fine, high-quality metal with a deep, penetrating shine. Hand-polished to show the value of time.

The MetalWood™ Process

1. Mouldings and/or woodcarvings are prepared to accept the metal coating and to ensure complete adhesion to the surface.
2. The 95% real-metal MetalWood™ finish is applied by hand using a cold-spray process, then convection cured at a temperature range of 86 to 91 degrees F.
3. After curing, the polishing process begins with sand-blasting the finish. (Any patina is hand-applied at this time.)
4. Next, each piece is given a top coat and is then hand-polished to bring out the unique metal finish. (Please note that a top coat is not applied to the Iron Rust finish.)

MetalWood™ Touch-Up Recommendations

To minimize the appearance of nail holes, place nails in discreet areas of the surface. For Brass, Bronze and Nickel finishes, use Minwax Blendfil Pencil No. 8 to fill nail holes. For copper finishes, use Minwax Blendfil No. 5.

Fabulous Finishes install with standard woodworking tools. Take extra care when installing with pneumatic nail guns.
