Douglas Fir Esbjerg Natural Oil
Our old-growth Douglas fir comes in very long and wide planks. In our favourite finish, we bleach and oil each board by hand, giving the wood its light and smooth Scandinavian touch. The wood can be soaped and reoiled again and again to feed and protect the surface patina for a long time to come. This finish works best in randomly blended very wide and very long boards for floors or walls. More

Further inspiration comes from the J.P. Cunningham Cabin, an 1880’s ranch house in Grand Teton National Park.
