Oil + Wax vs. Hard Coatings
Every finish has its place. This guide helps you determine which is ideal for your lifestyle. Oil+Wax is our standard finish; we also offer hard coatings when requested.

Hard Coatings

|
| Appearance | Develops a rich patina with age, like oiled leather. Flat to satin sheen with full visual and tactile connection to the natural wood. Can be polished to semi-gloss. | Allows stains and pigments to alter the wood's appearance — often used to disguise cheaper woods. Available in many sheens but can look plastic. Rarely flatter than satin. |
| Durability | Soaks deep into the grain and hardens from the inside — it's not a surface coating. Your furniture will actually look better longer, and never needs major refinishing. | Surface coatings that create a plastic barrier. They have a finite lifespan — eventually they break down, chip, and peel. Repairs with stains can be serious and costly. |
| Daily Use | Best for areas without direct moisture contact. When exposed to moisture, a quick maintenance application restores the oils in the wood. | Better initial moisture resistance, but some coatings chip, peel, and flake when moisture gets underneath. Still not recommended for prolonged exposure. |
| Maintenance | A light coat of rejuvenating oil once or twice a year. Scratches, scuffs, and dings repaired at home in minutes. You maintain it yourself, easily. | Very little daily care needed. But when damage occurs or the coating breaks down, refinishing is costly and typically requires a professional. |
