Oils & Stains

Qualities

Oils and stains are used to darken or lighten timber as well as highlight grain and pattern by creating a colour variation in the growth rings.

Reflection can change the appearance of the timber in different lighting, accentuating curves and giving our pieces an even more dynamic feel.

Our recommended finishes come standard in a 10% gloss which adds a subtle, dynamic quality to the timber with optimal marking protection. On request this can be slightly muted to Matte finish.

Raw / Natural

American Oak has a beautiful natural colour tone of white, faded golds, pinkish tints and light brown hues. We never leave our wood pieces raw and even a “natural” finish is a light wash coat applied onto the wood, which adds a subtle white tint, to protect from natural oils, spills and stains as well as the oxidisation process and the movement of the wood from changes in humidity.

All oil and stain finishes are included in our pieces at no additional cost.

Additional Oils & Stains are available on request to fit your project.

Please speak to us about your custom colour idea or colour match (physical sample required) and we’d be happy to facilitate.
