All finishes are made by Osmo, a company using high quality and carefully harvested natural oils and hard waxes to produce their products. These natural ingredients are not only better for us and the environment, they’re also better for the wood. Compared to traditional oils and varnishes, Osmo finishes are more durable because they both penetrate into the wood and lay on the surface.

Their products are also low/zero VOC (volatile organic compounds). Many VOCs are harmful to the environment and human health, so it’s extremely important we avoid the use of these compounds.

See below for the finishes we offer and examples of how they’ll look on our products.

In their heavily-used life on construction sites, scaffold boards are given stamps as identifiers and arrive with us in whole range of states: paint splattered, rough, smooth, knotted, scarred, stained, clean and everything in between. This means that our finishes are naturally going to differ from board to board. They’re all going to look slightly different!

Like humans, wood is organic matter, and celebrating individuality within society is widely accepted. So our goal is for our customers to celebrate all the unique character and personality of our finished products as we do for each other.

Our raw finish is very simple: it retains all the rough edges, bumps, paint marks, stamps and more from the scaffold boards original use. This finish is perfect if you’ve got the equipment and tools to sand down yourself. Only available with the purchase of raw, reclaimed scaffold boards.

Our smooth finish is the base for all of our other finishes. This means that we carefully sand the scaffold boards down and remove all rough edges whilst retaining unusual knots, scarring and stamps and more from their original us.

This option is best for products being used indoors if you don’t plan on finishing it yourself. We are an Osmo stockist, so get in touch with us if you’re looking for eco-friendly finishes. We have a full range of samples available in our Bay F retail space if you’d like to take a closer look.

Available across our indoor products only, our Raw Transparent stain offers a matt, nearly invisible, slightly white pigmented finish. Great if you’re looking to highlight more of the character of the timber without adding shine.

Our indoor and outdoor clear finish allows the all the natural characteristics of the reclaimed scaffold boards to shine through whilst providing protection from the elements. This coat of varnish will help to prolong the life of your product and.

Available in both indoor and outdoor stains, this finish offers a slightly darker tone than clear, helping to soften the natural tone of the timber and add a little warmth.

The middle tone, our medium stain is great for spaces which call for darker tones.

Available in both indoor and outdoor depending on where your product will be used, our dark stain offers a warm, rich chocolate option for those looking looking for something to blend in with existing wooden furniture both in the garden or indoors.
