CCF™ (Crossroads Custom Finishes™) represents remarkable values inherent only in
Legend™ and available only at webinetry.com. Designed to satisfy any décor preference
and budget, each CCF selection set is designer inspired and employs Legend’s hand-applied
paint and physical distressing techniques. More than 30 of Legend's doors are handcrafted
with these carefully chosen old world finish techniques in combination to capture
the timeless qualities of fine antique furniture.
Many of the finishing and distressing characteristics found in CCF combinations
have been developed over the centuries, but are rarely used practices in today’s
cabinet making industry as they represent time-consuming and expensive processes.
As a result, such amenities for too long have been reserved for only the affluent.
Finally, with Crossroads’ unique marriage between their traditional hand techniques
and state-of-the-art machine technologies, luxury is made affordable and for the
first time, is within reach of the average household in America. Even more, you
will find a custom glaze on many options, and since Crossroads considers glazing
integral to a quality finish, it is provided at no extra charge.
Crossroads employs two time-honored finish techniques: Paint/Stain
Distressing and Physical Distressing. Each is essential in their contribution to
the timeless design, integrity and craft of fine cabinetry
Paint/Stain Distressing Techniques
Designed to enhance and protect the natural beauty of wood, a fine furniture finish
begins with materials that age well. True to old world quality artisanship, each
of Crossroads' multi-step processes represent a delicate piece of carpentry that
demonstrates a steady hand for detail and spirit that goes into each Legend finish.
Applying a quality, long lasting finish is both an art and a science as subtle hues
are blended together to create a softer, more sophisticated look while ensuring
optimum clarity and feel. Making luxury affordable, these finishes are offered at
"no extra cost" as they come standard in the Legend Series.

Burnishing
A stain technique used on edges and profile to darken the finish giving the look of having been burned.
Hand Padding
A technique by which paint is blotted on the stained or painted surface with a cloth to create a sun faded look which occurs over time.
Speck Distressing, Cow Tailing
A paint technique where paint is flicked across the surface producing random specks/splats on the stained or painted surface. Also known as Fly Speck.
Physical Distressing Techniques
Physical distressing involves laborious multi-step processes which are considered
rare as they are only found in the most prestigious brands and custom cabinet shops.
The effects of physical distressing are achieved by applying specialized techniques
to make cabinetry look and feel like fine aged antiques. Crossroads employs old
skills and methods to subtly accentuate the natural beauty of these aged characteristics.
Distressing marks also allow glaze to accent home furnishings as it inspires new
textures and designs while it harmonizes luxury, form and function. These premium
distressing options are employed in selected styles for only 15% more; an incredible
value that stands apart in the marketplace today.
