First, a base stain is applied. A flood coat of glaze is then applied and hand-wiped, leaving behind soft tones in the corners and recesses of the door. Next, a highlight glaze is brushed into the corners and recesses by hand to emphasize the subtle variations in color.

- A veneer center panel absorbs more of the glaze, resulting in a slightly darker color than on the solid wood components of the door frame.
