Bali Exports Co. uses a variety of finishing processes depending upon the type of furniture being manufactured.  The most common finish for Antique Reproduction furniture that is made from mahogany is a finish called "NC" (Nitrocellulose).

Nitrocellulose is a very strong and durable finish that gives the furniture a very tough outer shell as well as a beautiful shine and luster.  The colors we use are natural, honey, pecan and walnut. Color samples are shown in the pictures below and these are the most common colors used in the furniture industry.

The most common colors used in mahogany furniture finishing are natural, honey, pecan and walnut.  You may specify which color of finish you would like when you order your furniture from us.  (Colors shown here may vary according to the settings of your monitor).
Natural-The natural color of the wood with a polyurethane sealer.
Honey- A very light stain that tints the wood just beyond it's natural color.
Pecan-The most common color used and the standard color of the furniture we manufacture.  It is a medium shade of brown.
Walnut - A dark stain for those who prefer darker colored furniture.

Our teak furniture products are most commonly finished in what is called a "Natural" finish. In this process, the wood is fine sanded.  Optionally, you can choose to have teak oil applied. This is the most common finish we use for our teak outdoor furniture. For our teak indoor furniture, we use the natural finish as well as the same finishes we apply to our Antique Reproduction pieces.

Another popular finish that is used for teak outdoor furniture is what we call a "Honey" finish. The table is first fine sanded and then finished with teak oil and wax. The wax gives the furniture a slight glossy look.
