Resurfaced Cowhide showcases Townsend expert craftsmen and their highly refined tipping technique. Hand-brushed lines applied to the surface give this leather dimension and unique beauty that are only accentuated by the soft and sophisticated mineral hues.

Experience the timeworn and aged appearance of Resurfaced, a hand-painted multi-layered design which renews and beautifies the leather’s natural grain surface. Various colors hand-brushed in multiple shades are applied to each section of leather creating tonal depth and revealing a nuance that is rich yet subtle.

This video shows one of our expert craftsmen applying the Resurfaced hand-tipping technique. The video is just a short snipet of the overall in-depth process. Townsend’s craftsmen utilize various tools and techniques while working on specially tailored tables with the full sized leather hides. The process is time consuming and takes tremendous focus, overlapping brush strokes in just the right spots, getting the exact angle of the brush correct, getting the exact amount of coloring on the brush tips, brush at the perfect speed, using the proprietary tools (not shown) in just the right way… and then doing it all again the other direction. It is an intensive process, but it is also a labor of love for our craftspeople, they treat each hide as the masterpiece work of art that it truly is.
