Colour families
We hold no photograph of this finish on one of our own projects, so this page does not show one. Everything above is a colour family, not a picture of a material.
Wood
Tropical hardwood
Dense hardwood, genuinely beautiful and genuinely demanding. Left alone it silvers to grey; kept brown it wants oiling on a schedule. Ask where it came from before anything else.
Bespoke cost band
Specified, sourced or fabricated for one yard. Longest lead times.

- Deep brown
- Weathered silver
Families, not products. The exact colour gets chosen off a physical sample against your house.
