Nature dried
The process for these unique finishes begins with the veneer material being carefully prepared for drying in a patented drying chamber. During this stage, the inherent tensions within the wood cause it to shrink in various directions, creating a distinct, textured effect that must be preserved.
To preserve this distinctive shrunk effect, specialized and proprietary methods are employed, ensuring the texture remains intact.
The finishing process involves applying an oil finish in multiple stages. This detailed application enhances and protects the surface, contributing to its durability and aesthetic appeal.
The final result is a flooring surface that is both visually striking and exceptionally pleasant to the touch. The drying and finishing procedures emphasize the wood’s natural characteristics, making each piece a unique creation. This approach is particularly effective, although not limited, for highlighting the dramatic features of more rustic-grade veneers, offering a richly textured and sensuous surface that enhances the architectural beauty of any space without overwhelming it.
Although similar finishes continue being attempted using various machines and manual techniques, they invariably fall short of capturing the unique look and tactile quality achieved through the patented nature drying process. The distinctive texture and character imparted by this specialized method are impossible, to fully replicate through conventional means, ensuring that each piece retains its one-of-a-kind appeal.
Initially designed specifically for oak, this advanced process has been refined and adapted to work with a broader selection of hardwoods. This expansion allows for the unique qualities and benefits of the process to be applied to various wood species, enhancing their natural beauty and character in the same distinctive manner.
