Liming wood.

A few hundred years ago wood was treated with a caustic lime mixture to protect it from the attacks of insects and worms. Later on the the effect of the lime residue on the wood grain became fashionable so eventually it was used for solely decorative reasons.Courtesy Liberon Limited

* Start with bare wood.
* Only lime open grain woods such as Ash and Oak.
* Mix up a liming wax, from beeswax polish and white pigment or buy it ready-made.
* With a small stiff brush work the mixture into the grain using a circular motion.
* Leave to dry off for 10 to 15 minutes.
* Using a firm pad of cloth rub off the surplus paste, again using a circular motion.
* Leave for 20 minutes, then polish surface with a clean cloth.

Limed Oak.-The procedure in this treatment, which consists in filling the grain of the wood with a white (or, occasionally, a colored) substance, will vary according to the quality and price of the work. At its cheapest, liming can be carried out by applying distemper or a lime and water mixture to the bare oak, wiping off the surplus and wax polishing or varnishing; the result, however, is not to be compared with that obtained if better materials are used and a little more time and trouble are taken.
For the “lime,” a good paste distemper can be employed, but the best medium is one of the proprietary liming pastes which usually consist of a mixture of white pigment and wax. The oak may either be stained in the usual manner or left natural, and must be free from moisture. In good quality work, two coats of spirit varnish should be applied to seal the wood: .....

pin oak


Explanation:
I'm going out on a limb here (no pun intended) but could it be the pin oak, which is the name of a tree?

gessato oak (Antique lime-treated white oak)


Explanation:
Ciao Kero,

no si trovano molte corrispondenze in internet, ma a mio avviso la soluzione di Berloni è la migliore.
Guarda anche in questo sito dove si parla dei vari tipi di finitura cornici, il gesso rimane "gesso in inglese (pag. 64).

http://www.openstarts.units.it/dspace/bitstream/10077/2018/1...

Ho trovato la definizione Antique lime-treated white oak utilizzata per gessato:

http://www.google.com/search?hl=it&q=Gessato Antique lime-tr...

Solo tre hit, ma da fornire come spiegazione tra parentesi non mi sembra male.

Ho visto un pò di immagini delle ante di una cucina Berloni per farmi un'idea di cosa si intendesse e sono d'accordo con la definizione fornita da M_bosco, sumigliano, effettivamente, ad un gessato in campo tessile. Mi sono già interesata ad una traduzione simile e ho tradotto il termine gessato come sopra
prendendo come termine per gessato le traduzione di questo link:
http://www.paoli.it/ita/supporto/glossario3.htm

Una variante potrebbe essere semplicemente "chalk-like".
Il tutto sempre fra virgolette.

graffiti oak


Explanation:
più che un gessato nel senso classico del termine, penso che sia una immagine da trasmettere. quindi, credo che graffiti potrebbe sostituire bene "gessato". considerando che spesso la traduzione deve trasmettere anche una idea, e non solo una esattezza lessicale, io penso che "graffiti" andrebbe bene.

Example sentence(s):
  • the cupboard doors are made in graffiti oak, which gives them a cozy, well-worn look.

"pinstripe" oak


Explanation:
Ho guardato la foto di una cucina berloni per capire che cosa intendessero per "gessato". Da quello che ho capito è un legno con delle venature verticali che lo fanno somigliare ad un gessato in campo tessile. Il termine non è appropriato per il legno quindi io metterei pinstripe fra virgolette.
Buon fine settimana.

lime-washed oak


Explanation:
I know that the technique using a lime-wash on wood gives that "chalky" finish. I would either go for this term, or perhaps even Rachel's, which I am sure refers to the same thing. It will just depend on what wording you prefer and how it relates to the rest of the text.
