This is an untreated smooth sanded oak plank. The first striking difference between this board and the other oak we sell is the pale colouration, the raw colour of seasoned oak. This creates a canvas full of rustic character to which any surface application can be added once installed on your floor.

Lye is then hand applied to the oak surface which reacts with the natural acids in the wood and bleaches the surface preventing the oak from discolouring.
