DESCRIPTION: Fort St Oregon is valued for its exceptional strength and durability, despite its remarkably light weight. The timber features pale tones with grain patterns ranging from tight and straight to large, dramatic swirls, highlighting Oregon’s distinctive character. Reclaimed features such as nail holes and mineral streaks are present, adding to its unique appeal. To preserve the pale, raw tones and prevent the warm orange hues that can appear with oil finishes, we recommend finishing Fort St Oregon with a water-based lacquer.

FINISH: Water based wood wash

Care + maintenance 

Recycled Australian hardwood brings a wide range of colour, texture and character. Variation in individual timber parcels will influence the final finished product. Material samples and images serve as a guide to the species and finish crafted by Thomas Keith. Variation across tones and texture is to be expected.
