Osmo is globally recognized as the Class-1, ultimate tier-1 finish used by elite professional restorers for both bespoke new furniture and master vintage restorations. This microporous, natural oil-wax coating penetrates deep into the wood to provide hardwearing, dirt- and water-repellent protection without creating a plastic film, allowing the timber to breathe and speak for itself.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e​\u003cb\u003eSpecies \u0026amp; Color Variations:\u003c\/b\u003e Mid-century furniture often utilizes a combination of different timber species or varying cuts within the same frame (for example, combining Teak and Blackwood).
