Oak & Oil

Warm timber specified as a coating system — oil, sheen, and grain direction that survive a living room and a bath threshold.

The brief

Coatings are not filters. Oil vs lacquer changes specular roughness. This plate keeps grain direction and sheen across a living volume and a quieter threshold.

How it was made

  • Set species and oil
  • Lock grain direction
  • Apply to millwork and floor
  • Check speculars at dusk
Warm the oak two steps — and it stayed oak.Canvas review
