Our Dento finish is Japanese cedar heat treated and charred then coated with natural oil.
The thick layer of carbon gives the timber longevity, UV and weather protection, as well as fire resistance.
Natural oil solidifies the carbon layer, minimising blemishes and prolonging the finish by preventing fine layers of soot from coming off.
Traditionally a maintenance optional finish, we recommend re-oiling every 10-20 years to prolong the layer of black carbon.
