Surface finishing of carved mirror frames
This carved mirror frame can be creatively adapted to match our home’s style. Since the frame is pre-sanded, it readily accepts any finishing method. Before applying any technique, ensure the surface is free from dust and grease. Finishing makes the ornament unique while protecting it from dirt, moisture, and wear. With paint we can highlight the wood carving and match it to the room’s colors, while with stain, oil or lacquer we can emphasize the wood grain. Because of the wood grain, the surface of the carvings absorbs stain unevenly, which may result in shade differences. If you are aiming for a completely uniform shade, we recommend using a filler primer as the first coat.
