Edgewear
Edgewear is a Bishop hand-applied finish technique that intentionally creates worn-looking edges, adding an aged, furniture-like character to selected painted finishes.

About this finish
Intentional wear for cabinetry that should feel collected, not brand-new.
Edgewear is not a separate paint color. It is a hand-applied technique added to an approved base finish so that selected edges appear naturally worn and aged.
Bishop directs customers to a dealer for exact availability, so Bates should verify the base paint, species or material, door profile, and final technique combination before the order is released.
