Tasmanian Oak - Walnut Stain

Feast Watson Walnut Stain

Polycure Lo-Sheen Protection

Langwarrin, VIC

A great example of how well a stained timber floor can change the whole dynamic in a home. Like many homes of the 60s era our first task was to effect some repair work from where a wall had been removed. Once patched up, we then set about superfine sanding the boards before applying a full-strength Feast Watson walnut stain directly to the timber.

With the staining completed the boards were finished with a Polycure Lo-Sheen for maximum protection and good looks.

All up a fine result.
