The wash softens the natural wood color while leaving grain visible.
White Wash
White Wash is a Bishop Artisan Wash that lightens real wood while preserving visible grain and species character instead of covering it like a solid paint.

Bishop classifies White Wash as an Artisan Wash rather than a standard stain or paint.
Bishop’s current product page tags Cherry, Hickory, Oak, and White Oak, so the same wash will read differently across woods.
About this finish
A lighter wood look without erasing the wood underneath.
White Wash is useful when you want a pale, relaxed wood appearance but still want the cabinet to read as real wood. The grain and natural variation remain visible, which keeps the finish from feeling like a flat white coating.
Because an Artisan Wash depends heavily on the wood beneath it, final species, door construction, and sample approval should be confirmed together.
