Two species, one finish

The Brentwood house used oak and walnut as two tools rather than two materials. Oak carries the larger, quieter surfaces. Walnut marks the places the eye should stop: the entry, the fireplace and the wall behind the bed. Walking through the house, the darker wood tells you where to look.

Running two species through one home only works if the finish is consistent. Oak and walnut take a finish differently, and a sheen that looks right on one can look wet or chalky on the other. Both were sealed with the same matte system, and the sheen was matched between the two species before anything left the shop.

Every run was cut to the measured wall, not to a standard module, so the panels meet the ceiling and the trim without filler. On a job that crosses several rooms, that is what keeps the house reading as one piece of work instead of a set of separate walls.

How a multi room job runs

  1. Send the plansEvery room you want to touch, with a photo of each wall. Rough dimensions are enough to start.
  2. Decide what each wood doesWhich surfaces stay quiet and which ones the eye should stop on, agreed on the drawing, not on site.
  3. Match the finishSheen samples on both species, approved side by side in the light of the house.
  4. Template after drywallReal measurements from each finished wall, so runs meet the ceiling and trim without filler.
  5. Fabrication and dry fitCut, veneered, finished and dry fitted in Chatsworth, room by room.
  6. InstallationOur crew installs in the agreed sequence. One crew for the whole house.

Questions

Do you install in Brentwood?

Yes. Brentwood is inside the area our own crew covers. We completed a multi room slat panel project here in October 2024.

Can oak and walnut be used in the same house?

Yes, if the finish is controlled. Both species were sealed with the same matte system and the sheen was matched between them before installation, so the two woods read as one decision.

Can you do several rooms as one job?

Yes. Send the plans and we work out the sequence: which rooms first, what is templated when, and how the veneer is bought so the tone stays consistent from room to room.

Do the panels need filler at the ceiling?

No. Every run is cut to the measured wall after drywall, so panels meet the ceiling and the trim without filler strips.

Who actually does the work?

One shop. We draw it, build it in Chatsworth and install it with our own crew.
