OUR STAINS & FINISHES
The finish you choose for your furniture or homeware will depend on the look and feel you want in your home.
A lot of our happy customers enjoy allowing the natural colours and beauty of the wood to shine. In these cases we will just apply a clear finish in either matte or gloss, to protect your new furniture.
However, there are some very popular coloured stains that can be applied to create different looks, depending on the timber used for your item.
They can really add some depth and warmth to your finished piece or create an entirely different look than the natural timber alone.
It all depends on what you want.
We are happy to help. We use your ideas and our knowledge and skills to create the perfect furniture for you!
MOST POPULAR STAINS & FINISHES
POLYURETHANE
This is our preferred method of sealing all our wooden creations. The results that we get with polyurethane are silky smooth and professional and you have the option of either a gloss or satin finish. Feast Watson are our company of choice as they offer the best range of durable sleek finishes.
EXTERIOR
If your item is for outdoor use, please make sure to let Shane know. We will then use premium quality Marine Grade exterior clear finish. This offers the ultimate protection from the elements and Australia’s harsh climate, including exceptional UV durability and colour retention.
RAW TIMBER / NO FINISH
Over the last few years, we have noticed a trend in our customers requesting raw timber items.
Raw wood is naturally lighter than sealed timber, as no product has been added to seal it. Whilst beautiful, this leaves the item unprotected, so we do not recommend this for some items. For instance, an unsealed dining table or bathroom vanity, would be covered in ring marks and watermarks instantly. We would instead suggest an oil-based finish as an alternative.
OIL
If you prefer the natural look, then we can use an oil finish for a flat matte, non-shiny look. The beauty with this type of finish is that it only requires one coat, so we can get your item to you quicker. Rubio Monocoat and Odie’s Oil are two of our favourite brands
MINERAL OIL & CARNAUBA WAX
Used for our chopping boards and platters to provide a food safe finish.
BLACK JAPAN
If you prefer black furniture and homeware, but still love the look of woodgrain, then this top quality product is for you. We can use Black Japan on the lightest of timbers and it is one of our most requested wood stains.
