Finishes are going in at the Cathedral with methods at opposite ends of the spectrum. The finishing of the rails requires hours of light sanding, finish oil, and buffing by hand. There hasn’t been much advancement to replace good ol’ elbow grease and a discerning eye. Our custom radiator covers though, are at the other end; they were plasma cut by a computer from 1/8″ steel in a pattern to mimic the gothic feel of the rest of the house. In the end, the two will blend harmoniously, while the path to get there was completely different.
