Not every finishing job is about changing the wood’s colour. Sometimes the point is to protect the timber while keeping it looking exactly like it did the day it was milled. Raw Finish follows the same stabilising, priming, and sealing stages as any other finish, but skips the Timber Tone stage entirely, moving straight from sealing to a protective lacquer topcoat.
Protection – No colour change to wood
Grain – Shows natural variation
Durability – Same protective system as toned finishes
Premium or feature timber where natural grain is the selling point

No – it uses the same protective system, including stabilising, priming, and sealing. The only difference is that it skips the Timber Tone stage, so the wood’s natural colour comes through instead of being adjusted.
Premium or feature timber where the grain and natural colour variation are the actual selling point, not something to be evened out or changed.
Stabilising, priming, and sealing as needed, then straight to the lacquer topcoat in matt, semi-matt, or gloss – no toning step in between.
