Choose the level of character you desire:-
Refined Grade - for customers with a "cleaner" requirement. Generally straight grain and even colour. Only occasional small drying splits or knots.
Character Grade - this grade has a more varied grain structure, with small knots, burrs and surface shakes, slight drying splits, and more colour variation.
Rustic Grade - full of character. Pronounced grain patterns, large knots, & drying splits. Wide variations in colour.
See the picture for examples of the three grades, with Refined on the left, Character in the middle, and Rustic on the right.
Please note, that due to the natural qualities of oak, no two pattresses are the same, which gives each one a unique appearance. Due to this, grading can sometimes be subjective, therefore we place each pattress in its most appropriate grade, using the above as a guide. |
