Sedona Distress is chracterized by deep peck holes and long gouges, and is lighter in effect than Mojave.
Hand Distressing is an application of surface marks and impressions on a door or window that gives the idea of natural age and actual use. In order for the distress marks to appear random and authentic, it is impossible to adhere to a regular pattern like "10 marks per lineal foot consisting of hooks and pecks,' as this would make the patterns appear machine-made. Rancho Collection products are not "damaged" in the process of distressing. Distressing is a form of art and results will vary from one product to another.
