Jul19Cerused OakJuly 19, 2007 | Leave a Comment The “ceruse” finish is achieved by applying some kind of white material (eg paint or filler) to the pores of the grain where it is absorbed, leaving the non-porous areas untouched. This is why this technique works so well with oak which has open porous graining.

The Old Plank store has an outdoor garden section that contains lots of urns, statues, statuettes, pots, vases, and the like. AND we have built an amazing folly that has to be seen to be believed. So if you can’t visit or want to save a little gas, we’ve made a small video that gives you a flavor of what is possible. We can order all the architectural elements of the folly and design it to your specifications. The material is reclaimed from old buildings in England and the elements are made from original English molds. The designs can be constructed by a local masonry artist from the drawings provided by us. Anything is possible: sheds, walls, bridges, whatever. One of these follies will make you the envy of the local garden club. Call or email us for more information and enjoy the video.
