Group A Alternative Stain
Ebony as shown on Ash
Ebony is a deep charcoal-brown stain finish that leverages open the grain, allowing a white pumice over-rub to settle into the open grain for added depth and contrast. This finish is not distressed but enhances the wood’s natural structure through subtle textural variation. The final appearance will vary depending on the wood species, solids versus veneers, and individual pieces, resulting in natural variations that are not grounds for return. Ebony is recommended exclusively for open-grain woods like Ash and Oak, where the pumice over-rub can properly adhere. Wood species with dense grain structure, such as beech, maple or walnut, are not good candidates for Ebony as the grain will not allow for the white hang up to adhere.

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.
