(other sizes can be specified) We use a traditional natural dye to colour the timbers made from crushed hazelnut shells. The shade is controlled by dilution and can be mixed from a very dark stain, comparable to a Jacobean Oak through to a very light wash which gives a more bleached look. The timber is then finished with a low sheen water based varnish. Examples can be viewed at the showroom.
