Blue Echo on Ash
This finish features rich, moody blue, layered with a charcoal-grey hang-up that settles beautifully into the open grain of ash, oak, and burl. The natural texture of these woods enhances the depth and character of the finish, as the dark pigments catch in the grooves and valleys of the grain structure. Intentionally heavily distressed, this finish is designed to reveal areas of wood exposure, edge wear, and tonal variation, adding a timeworn, artisanal quality. With a low sheen, the surface has a matte, velvety appearance that further emphasizes the layered complexity of color and texture. Ideal for statement pieces where a bold yet heritage-inspired finish is desired.

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.
