Planed

A glassy-smooth, dressed finish.

Fine Sawn

The traditional choice, boards are passed through a band saw to create a soft textured, sawn face.
finish.jpg

Riven

Randomly oscilating cutters plane smooth swaying lines into the board face to create this unique finish. No two boards will look alike.
finish.jpg

Weatherbeaten

Achieved using a lighter wire brush, this finish accentuates the harder grain of the timber, creating a weathered, two-tone finish when combined with coatings.

Wire Brushed

Wire brushes are used to remove softer wood fibres, creating a rough structured finish
