Natural : Close to the soul of raw wood, delicately pale with subtle variations that highlight its natural beauty. This finish celebrates the essence of wood in its purest form, perfect for those who appreciate simplicity and organic charm.

Antique Oak : Luxuriously dark and rich, achieved with a meticulous application of natural wax that deepens over time. Its warm tones and timeless appeal evoke the grandeur of centuries-old oak, making it a statement piece in any setting.

Antique Pine : Lighter than oak yet equally inviting, this finish radiates a cozy warmth that invites you to linger. The natural wax enhances the wood's natural grain, creating a rustic elegance that pairs beautifully with both traditional and contemporary décor.

Antique Elm: A sophisticated blend of brown and grey hues, sealed with a durable water-based lacquer for longevity. This finish not only adds depth and character but also offers practicality, ensuring your furniture remains as stunning as the day it was crafted.

Limed Oak: Delicately light and airy, with a soft white and grey tone that gives the wood a subtle weathered appearance. The liming process enhances the natural grain patterns, creating a finish that exudes coastal charm and modern elegance.
