Group D Artisan Stain
Scrubbed Ash as shown on Ash
Scrubbed Ash is a distinctive stain finish offered exclusively on solid ash and solid oak. This unique wire-brushed technique allows a soft white pigment to settle into the open grain, creating a subtle contrast that’s further enhanced with a gentle stain sheen. The result is a soft, matte look with low reflectivity. Adding to its character, the wood undergoes heavy physical distressing—rasping, deep chain marks, intense filing, and worn edges—giving it a rich texture and a rustic, weathered appeal. This finish beautifully highlights the natural grain of the wood, offering a warm, lived-in feel that suits both contemporary and traditional interiors.

Finish Characteristics
SHEEN
Low
Sheen is the amount of light reflected on a stained or painted surface. The intensity and direction of the light source plays a part in how sheen can influence the finish on a piece of furniture. Hickory Chair has selected a standard sheen level for each finish that showcases the finish at its best. Hickory Chair recommends a Match Panel to confirm sheen change.
Note: Changing Sheen levels from standard sheen, may cause finish color perception to vary.
Flat Sheen - A smooth, no-shine finish that feels close to the natural texture of wood. This understated look brings a soft, modern, and organic appeal, ideal for a more relaxed or casual aesthetic.
Low Sheen (standard for this finish) - A soft, velvety finish with minimal reflection. It adds a subtle glow that enhances the wood’s character while maintaining a refined and approachable look — versatile for both modern and traditional styles.
Medium Sheen - A smooth, moderately reflective finish that offers a sense of richness and depth without being too glossy. This sheen adds polish and highlights details, giving furniture a luxurious yet timeless feel.
High Sheen - A bright, reflective finish that brings clarity and depth to the surface. Its crisp, polished look makes a bold statement, though it may show marks from use more easily than lower sheen levels.
