Cores

The four finishes cover such a nice range—Agave’s muted green and Beeswax’s warm cream are my favorites, and the powder coating feels smooth and durable. Shipping was right on schedule, arriving Wednesday as promised, which made it easy to test them in a project right away.

I was pleasantly surprised by the weight of these metal finish tokens—they feel substantial enough to use as actual swatches. The Canvas finish has a subtle texture that’s perfect for seeing how the powder coat will look in natural light.

The Agave and Brick tokens finally let me see how the powder coat looks against my kitchen cabinets, and the color is way richer in person than on my screen. They arrived the Wednesday after I ordered, which was quicker than I expected for samples.
