If you’re asking, “We want a natural look; do you offer untreated hardwood benches?” the short answer is yes—we absolutely do. In fact, we pride ourselves on providing benches that are crafted from genuine solid hardwood with zero chemical treatments, stains, or synthetic finishes. This is exactly what you need if your design vision calls for an organic, raw aesthetic that lets the wood’s natural grain, color variations, and texture shine through.
Our untreated hardwood benches are milled from responsibly sourced species like oak, walnut, maple, and ash. Because there’s no sealant or varnish, the wood will continue to “breathe” and may darken or patina slightly over time as it reacts to light and air—a desirable effect for those who love a living piece of furniture. You can also sand and oil them yourself later if you ever want to adjust the finish.
However, a few things to keep in mind: untreated wood is more porous, so it can absorb moisture and stains more easily. For indoor use in a low-humidity environment, it’s perfectly fine. For high-traffic areas or outdoor settings, we can still supply untreated timber, but we recommend considering a light application of natural oil or wax to protect it while maintaining the “natural look.”
If you want a bench that feels warm, honest, and connected to nature—without gloss or artificial uniformity—our untreated hardwood collection is exactly what you’re looking for. Let us know your preferred wood species and dimensions, and we’ll craft a piece that stays true to your vision.
