How to make different woods look the same - a beautiful customer renovation!

How to make different woods look the same - a beautiful customer renovation!

Posted by Sarah, Celtic Sustainables on 18th Sep 2025

We often get asked, "how do I make different woods look the same?" I recently came across a fantastic customer renovation project that I couldn’t wait to share that beautifully illustrates the answer! The design unites different types of timber, featuring softwood throughout and a striking oak door as the centerpiece.

To achieve a consistent, seamless look, every wooden surface both the softwood and the oak was treated with Treatex Hard Wax Oil in the rich Antique Oak shade. This not only enhanced the natural warmth and character of each type of wood but also created a perfectly harmonious style across the entire space. To complete the finish, a coat of Treatex Hard Wax Oil in Soft Satin was applied, giving all surfaces a smooth, elegant sheen. The result is a flawless balance of versatility, sophistication, and durability. A perfect example of what Treatex products can bring to your home.

Benefits of Treatex Hard Wax Oil:

Natural and Sustainable Ingredients: This product is crafted from a blend of eco-friendly, natural raw materials. Each ingredient plays a role in enhancing the quality, including linseed oil, sunflower oil, jojoba oil, beeswax, carnauba wax, and candelilla wax.

Low Odour: Enjoy a pleasant application experience with minimal scent lingering in the air

No Sanding Required Between Coats: Save time and effort! You can apply multiple coats without the hassle of sanding, making your project more efficient.

Water Resistant: This finish offers excellent protection against moisture, ensuring your wood surfaces remain beautiful and resilient over time.

Highly Durable: Designed to withstand the rigours of daily use, this product ensures that your wooden surfaces will stand the test of time.

Child-Safe: Perfect for use on children’s toys, this hard wax oil formulation is free from biocides, preservatives, and carcinogens, giving parents peace of mind.

Impressive Coverage: One litre of this product provides coverage for about 20 square meters in a single coat, although this may vary depending on the type of timber and application method used.

User-Friendly Application: Treatex hard wax oil is designed for easy application on interior wooden surfaces, making it accessible for both professionals and DIY enthusiasts alike.

This project is a true testament to the exceptional results that can be achieved with quality materials!
