Can i ask for a different finish?

We recommend our traditional finish of wax polish and hard wax oil as we have used these products on our timbers for some 30 years now and believe them to be a solid and durable finish. Wood being a natural product, varies naturally in colour therefore, when a wax or oil is applied the colour variation is highlighted.
