Distressed and wire-brushed finishes sell, but doing them by hand is slow and inconsistent. QuickWood distressing heads use steel brushes to pull soft grain and texture the surface uniformly, so every board in the run matches. Available as drill-chuck hub kits for smaller shops and machine heads for production lines.
See the rustic sanding guide for technique, and the steel brush guide for choosing media.
For the heaviest texture, the twisted steel wire brush for a drill cuts deep rustic grooves on hardwoods and softwoods alike, and the drill flap wheel burnishes the texture smooth before stain. Both come bundled in the rustic sanding kit.
