Smoked oak oil

Smoked oak stained

European oak. Smoked oak with oil treatment is only used for solid wood. The oak is

fumed in special steam that darkens the surface and makes the colour more brown.

Different parts of the solid oak absorb the fume to different degrees and colour differences

will naturally occur. After fuming, the oil treatment further enhances the warm tones of the

oak. The oil used is a clear, natural oil. This seals the surface to make it water and stain

resistant, thus minimising any visible marks. Over time, the oil will dry out and new oil must

be applied to avoid a dull surface. Beautiful flecking is an effect that can naturally occur in

solid oak.

Walnut oil

American walnut with a tight, ”closed” surface structure. The oil used is a clear, natural

oil. This seals the surface to make it water and stain resistant, thus minimising any visible

marks. The oil is absorbed into the wood and creates a smooth surface with a silky touch.

Over time, the oil will dry out and new oil must be applied to avoid a dull surface.

European oak. Smoked oak stained is a stain treatment that resembles the colour of

smoked oak. It is used in furniture where the natural variation in wood requires a more

harmonious result than what fumed smoked oak can offer. Frederica uses a stain solution

that enhances the warm tones of the oak and reveals the natural wood structure. After

staining, the wood is covered with a delicate layer of lacquer. As a result, smoked oak

stained is easy to maintain and able to resist stains and water quite well.

Walnut lacquered

American walnut with a tight, ”closed” surface structure. A light lacquer treatment that par-

tially fills the grain is applied to seal the surface and make it stain and water resistant. This

light lacquer treatment is gentler than a dense lacquer, consequently scratches will not be

easily exposed. The wood itself has a nice tactile feel and the natural ageing over time will

be more beautiful. The lacquer applied to walnut is clear without any colour pigment.
