Our newest custom finish is pure beauty without the pain:  tattooed wood and acrylic.  At JOHNHOUSHMAND we love the natural and uncontrollable characteristics in salvaged wood but this “tattoo” finish is a custom dream.

At the shop upstate we create a CAD drawing of the desired graphic and send it to a CNC machine which routes out the graphics from either wood or acrylic.  Next we fill the path in with epoxy (which can be any number of colors) to really bring out the image.  So not only do we have control over the image but also the color and thickness of line!  Flexibility at its finest.

Here are some samples of the clean and crisp shapes created by this process for a project we’re currently working on.
