WOCA Antique Oak Lye is specially formulated to create a rich, ammonia-smoked appearance on oak wood. The lye reacts with the natural tannins in the wood, producing a darker, aged look with distinctive character and depth. The final colour intensity varies depending on the tannin content of the oak.
Antique Oak Lye is designed to darken oak wood naturally by reacting with the tannic acid present in the timber. This process creates a distinctive smoked appearance without obscuring the wood's natural grain structure. The result is a beautiful, aged finish that develops further over time, giving oak floors, furniture, and interior woodwork a timeless and sophisticated look.
Ideal for achieving a traditional smoked oak effect, Antique Oak Lye develops a unique vintage patina that continues to mature over 1–2 months. The treated surface can be further customised with a subsequent oil or soap treatment to create your desired finish.
