A client in Denver called my cedar fence 'too perfect' and it actually made sense after I thought about it.
They said the perfectly straight lines and uniform spacing looked unnatural against their rustic property, so now I intentionally vary the board gaps by an eighth of an inch and let some grain show more, which honestly looks better for certain homes.

It's like how new jeans look stiff until they get broken in, that perfect sheen just feels wrong.

Oh man, that new jean feeling is the worst! It reminds me of getting a stiff new work jacket, @rose_hart31, that squeaks every time you move. You just can't wait for it to get a little dirty and soft so it actually feels like yours. That perfect look never lasts, and honestly, it's not even comfortable.
