TIMBER
Did you know that every piece of Douglas Hosking Oak Furniture can be made in alternative timbers? Cherry is the most popular and gives the most satisfactory results along with Maple and Walnut. A selection of veneers and inlay detail can also be incorporated into your personal design.

COLOUR
Solid oak furniture is always associated with a dark finish and yet all orders can be polished to each customer's personal preference. As each order is polished by hand Douglas Hosking Oak Furniture offers a colour matching service at no extra cost. A finish can vary from a light waxing on the natural wood through to a limed effect, caustic or even matching to a customer's existing piece of furniture.
Douglas Hosking range of polished finishes: Standard (dark oak), Fenton (light oak).
Additional polished finishes: Dark Antique, Cherry on Oak, Caustic, Limed Oak, Natural Wax.
Colour samples of all finishes are available on request.

DISTRESSING
Our in-house team of French Polishers age and distress every item of furniture by hand just before the polishing begins. Always a fascination to visitors at the workshops, the polishers use chains, stone and chippers to create the effect of years of cherished use. Some people prefer a little others love a heavier more beaten look. At Douglas Hosking we welcome customers' requests to vary the degree of distressing to ensure the furniture is to personal taste.
Also available is an adzed finish - samples available on request.

SIZES
As every piece of Douglas Hosking Oak Furniture is made to order it is possible to alter the size to suit a customer's personal needs. Often requested with tables, it is a service that is available o the whole range. All bespoke requests are passed by the Head Cabinet Maker to be checked for technical viability.
