Finishing Mass Timbers
by Autumn Peterson

High quality, beautiful & durable natural oil finishes to preserve and enhance Mass Timbers.
Heritage Natural Finishes are quite different from your typical hardware store surface varieties. Our products are premium penetrating oil finishes, hand crafted in small batches with the highest quality, all natural ingredients coming from sustainable sources. All of our products are made without the use of toxic heavy metal dryers or petroleum products and we always list all of our ingredients! Our finishes are very rich, with a high solids content, creating a very durable, well protected surface and yielding greater coverage per gallon than other brands on the market with less maintenance needed in the long run.
Originally developed for the unique finishing requirements of large timbers and logs, our products also produce a superior, natural and easily repaired finish on any woodwork, including Glulams, CLTs and Mass Timber projects, enhancing the patina and grain pattern of the species to which it is applied. Because it contains no drying agents of any kind, our oils may be left on the wood surfaces for extended times, from an hour to overnight without gumming or hardening, thus allowing greater absorption into the wood. Our finish continues to wick deeper into the fibers, grain, and checks long after the surface is dry. Maintenance is easy as well, just add more oil as you need over the years when the wood looks dry. No cracking or peeling like most surface coats such as varnish or polyurethane. Our finishes can be used on a variety of surfaces as well, not just wood and dry to a natural matte sheen.
Breathability is key when finishing big wood and our finishes surpass anything on the market today in that category. For ease of maintenance, durability, performance and indoor health in your buildings, our finishes excel.
- For exterior projects, use our Exterior Finish, apply 2-3 coats or only as much as the wood will absorb. Wipe off any excess. Contains a mildewcide/fungicide and UV blockers.
- For interior wood work we recommend using our Original Finish or our LEED Finish (for lower VOC). Two coats is recommended and only apply as much as the wood will absorb. Wipe off any excess to remove drips, prevent the finish from drying to quickly leaving glossy patches and give you an over all even glow. 100% bio-based and food safe once dry.
Simple. Beautiful. Natural.
