Finishes

When you visit our barn Showroom you will see all the furniture in its “pure” unpolished state allowing you to choose which specific finish you prefer to give you the look and feel that you like.

We can polish the oak to any colour you like but we prefer to work with the wood finishes we have specially developed in-house, which have been rigorously tested on our ever-changing kitchen table .

We strongly believe that a finish should always allow you to “feel” the wood and we spend hours hand sanding and hand polishing in our workshop to achieve this result. Each piece is sanded and polished 3 times over 3 consecutive days to achieve the smoothest possible finish.

The chart reflects a typical table use in a family kitchen being used everyday.
The weaker finishes are not really recommended for this sort of use but can be lovely on sideboards, bookcases etc
