Soda blasting timber beams and log walls
Start with a beam that represents the species, grain and finish on site.

In short
Start with a beam that represents the species, grain and finish on site. The owner will see differences between earlywood and latewood after the old finish comes off. Agree how much grain relief and which tool marks should remain before estimating the whole ceiling.
Assessing the trial and quoting the job
Compare the nozzle pattern on a broad face and around a joint. Photograph the approved dry sample in side light and keep it available during the job. Price overhead access, protection of adjoining rooms and clearing spent media as well as the beam area. Bring a coated offcut to the SB-500 Trailer demonstration to select the equipment for your first contract.
