Timber

Most models are available in a selection of timbers. One or two options are not offered because of timber quality supply problems or particular technical difficulties with a timber and the way it would need to be used, eg we currently do not offer the Senegal in oak.

We only use timber from sustainable sources and never use endangered tropical hardwoods. Our pine is from Scandinavia and our hardwoods - ash, oak, maple, cherry, walnut and beech are from the USA or northern Europe.

beech timber
BEECH is a light coloured timber with a slightly pinkish cast and a tight, speckled grain.
See also the Zanskar bed.
ash timber

oak timber
OAK has a generally consistent colour with a tight, pronounced grain. See also the Malabar, Nevada and Kulu Beds

LACQUERS AND STAINS

Clear lacquer enhances the natural beauty of the wood, bringing out the colour and detail in the grain.

The following stained finishes on pine broaden the colour range:
