Our timber samples let you see and feel the exact wax finish on the exact timber before you commit to a dining table. Every sample is cut fresh from our slab library on a Tuesday and shipped Wednesday for Thursday delivery, hand-waxed and hand-buffed by the same finishing team that finishes our dining tables. Rustic Pine — FSC Certified Kiln-Dried Scandinavian Redwood Warm honey tone with distinctive round dark knots. Available in two surface treatments: Rustic Weathered — the sweep of arced Swedish saw marks is kept across the face, giving each wax finish a two-tone effect where the wax settles differently in the coarser grain. Modern Planed — the saw marks are milled away for a smoother, more refined finish. The wax settles evenly for a cleaner tone. Reclaimed Elm — Dense Hardwood, Aged Character Genuine hardwood — denser and stronger than pine, with fine straight grain, subtle pin knots and the aged character of decades-old boards. Elm takes wax differently to pine: the finish lifts subtly, richer in the harder grain lines, softer in the lighter bands. If you were drawn to our dining tables but concerned about a softwood, elm is the answer. Rustic Weathered — surface texture kept; the wax picks up the character of each board. Modern Planed — surface smoothed; the wax settles evenly for a refined finish. The seven Fiddes wax finishes on every sample Every sample set includes swatches of all seven wax finishes so you can compare them side by side, in your own light, on the actual timber: Clear Wax · Lime Wax · Antique Oak · Forest Brown · Rugger Brown · Jacobean · Grey Wash Each finish is applied in two coats and hand-buffed — the same Fiddes wax, the same technique, the same hands as our dining tables. What you see on the sample is exactly what you’ll get on your table. Delivery Sample sets are made to order every Tuesday and shipped every Wednesday for Thursday delivery via FedEx Next Day.
