Hardwax Oil Finishes
Our Finish: Natural Protection with Lasting Beauty
After crafting our panels from reclaimed timber, we take one final — and vital — step to bring out the wood’s full character: the finish. This is where the grain deepens, the tones come alive, and the surface is sealed with a satin-smooth touch that’s made to last.
Sanded by Hand, Every Time
Before any finish touches the wood, each panel is meticulously hand-sanded in multiple stages. This isn’t just about smoothness — it’s about preparing the surface to absorb the oil evenly and beautifully, enhancing the natural features of the timber without masking its soul.
A Thoughtful Finish, Inside and Out
We use premium, hardwax oil from Fiddes, chosen for its exceptional durability, natural composition, and stunning finish. It’s vegan, low-VOC, and safe for use in homes — even around kids and pets. The oil soaks into the grain, hardening within the wood rather than sitting on top, which means it doesn’t peel or flake over time.
Custom-Tinted by Us
To make it uniquely ours — and yours — we mix our own blend of high-quality pigments directly into the Fiddes matt oil. The result? A range of rich, earthy tones that elevate the character of each piece while keeping a natural, understated look and feel. Every blend is tested for consistency and designed to highlight the nuances in reclaimed wood.
Lustre You Can Feel
The final effect is a soft, tactile sheen that feels as good as it looks. Not too glossy, not too flat — just the perfect balance of depth, tone, and touch.
