What is the difference between sanded, brushed and distressed wood?

frequently asked questions

Sanded wood has a smooth, refined appearance. Brushing removes softer material from the grain, making the natural texture more tactile. Distressing deliberately adds marks, worn edges or relief for an aged character. The treatment influences both the appearance and how visible subsequent wear will be.
