Timbers
Antique Design systems are suitable for a huge range of timbers. To choose the most appropriate system satisfying specific needs, this handbook is based on two macro-categories of timber families: rich in tannin and tannin-free woods. Tannin is an organic substance contained inside plant species.
Naturally rich in tannin woods
durmast, chestnut, walnut, elm, acacia, etc.
Tannin-free woods
pine, fir, ash, cherry wood, tanganyika, beech, etc.

Thanks to its formula, it can be easily removed by scotch brite, simplifying the sanding phase. It simulates the effect of a bleached patina and can me mixed with the usual pigments to obtain endless trendy shades.
