Light Driftwood - a light, natural clear colour. Similar to a pine colour bringing out the natural colour and features of the timber.
Rugger Brown - a rich oak colour and the final finish will vary from a medium to a dark oak look depending on the timber used.
Grey Wash - a light natural colour bringing out the character and natural colour of the timber together with subtle hints of grey which varies in different lights.

Hard Wax Oil Protective Finish
The protective finish is a blend of natural oils and waxes designed to provide durability and resistance to liquids and everyday wear. The matt-satin finish gives a natural appearance to the timber.
While the protective finish adds durability, we recommend using placemats and coasters to preserve the appearance and longevity of the furniture.

Rustic Character
The characteristics of our Bespoke Collection make each item of furniture truly unique. Handcrafted and made to order from reclaimed and rustic pine; knots, grains, marks and holes of all shapes and sizes are likely to show up differently on each plank of wood. The natural grain and weathered look of this collection coupled with the beautiful rustic imperfections and natural undulation of the timber all combine to create characterful, one-of-a-kind pieces of furniture.
