Finishing the wood

 

The Sliver Beech tree is a native of New Zealand and has a lovely variety of colour and grain. 
This Jack Loom has been finished with a water based lacquer to protect the kiln dried timber from climatic changes and enhance its 
natural character. To repair and restore the finish use Ashford Wax Polish to enhance the natural beauty of the wood.
