Finish This piece is supplied unvarnished as standard. Left natural, solid oak slowly weathers to a soft, silvery-grey completely normal for outdoor timber, a graceful way for a piece to age, & with no maintenance needed. If you'd prefer to bring out the grain & warm, honeyed tones, choose the varnished option 50) & we'll hand-apply three coats of Epifanes, a premium marine yacht varnish. More about the two finishes Outdoor furniture takes a real beating from sun & weather. Left natural, an unvarnished piece simply silvers over time & asks nothing of you. A varnished piece keeps its rich sheen for a couple of years; after that the varnish may begin to flake or patch, at which point you can simply re-coat it, or let it weather back to that natural silvery-grey. Either way, your oak is fine. Celtic Knotwork Viking Throne - Hand-Carved Solid Oak Norse Runes Storytelling Chair Schools Bespoke Wales UK
