Artisan distressing packages for Cornerstone and Millennia give your cabinetry the look of old world craftsmanship, with hand-applied styling simulating the natural appearance of aged wood. Because much of the process is done by hand, the frequency and placement of distressing marks will vary. Adding Glaze or Patina will accentuate the marks and enhance the aged look, all while maintaining the durability of a modern factory finish.
