IS THIS MODERN FARMHOUSE?! #idontknow #carpentry #modernfarmhouse
What happens here
After all the wooden beams are securely installed on the ceiling, they undergo a finishing process. The video shows an abrupt transition where the previously raw wood beams are now painted a bright white. This step typically involves preparing the beam surfaces (sanding, cleaning), applying a suitable primer, and then applying one or more coats of paint to achieve the desired color and finish, creating a clean, contrasting look against the natural wood ceiling.
Goal: Apply a protective and decorative finish to the installed beams.
