MATERIALS
Chosen
by Hand.
by Hand.
A short library of timbers, stones and metals we know well enough to guarantee for life. Nothing here is new to us; everything has been in a room for years.
TIMBERS
Hardwoods
Selected as whole logs and dried in our own kiln, so grain and tone stay continuous across a run of doors.
AMERICAN WALNUT
Pennsylvania, USA
FUMED OAK
Burgundy, France
European Oak
EUROPEAN OAK
Slavonia, Croatia
STONE

Honed rather than polished, so light sits in the surface instead of bouncing off it.

Carrara, Italy
Basalt

FINISHES & CARE
Made to Be Touched.
Hand-rubbed oil
Three thin coats, cut back between each. Matte, warm and repairable: a scratch is sanded and re-oiled in an afternoon.
Hard wax
For worktops and tables that see daily use. Water-resistant, still breathable, renewed once a year with a cloth.
Living patina
Metals leave the workshop bright and darken in your hands. We can fix the tone at any point, or let it keep moving.
SAMPLES
See them in your light.
We post sample boards of any timber, stone or metal here, finished as they would be in your room.
