Checking All solid wood products are susceptible to a natural cracking over time called checking. Checking has no effect on the strength or durability of the wood. Maintenance • With any unfinished interior wood, applying a quality finish to all surfaces (including the ends) is recommended. An interior finish protects the wood from moisture absorption and UV degradation, and helps prevent any finger stains caused by touching the unfinished wood. • On rare occasions, coatings may be blocked from adhering due to an effect called mill glaze. If you encounter mill glaze, we recommend sanding the piece lightly. • We offer a wide selection of Water Based Interior Finishes that we can recommend based on the final sheen level and look that is desired. Most interior finishes do not have to be re-coated or reapplied depending on the UV exposure to your home. You can find all of the interior stains and finish products that we carry at our Interior Stains page.
