A pair of characterful oak A-frames were refreshed with a carefully controlled surface-restoration process. Gentle blasting lifted away aged weathering and surface discolouration while respecting the timber, bringing the natural grain and warm character back into view. The result is a cleaner, brighter finish that is ready for the owner's chosen protective treatment.

What was needed
How the surface was prepared.
Restore the exposed oak A-frame timbers by assessing the existing surface, protecting adjacent areas, and using a measured low-impact blasting approach to remove weathered deposits without unnecessary abrasion. Even out the appearance across the frames, refine the timber surface, and leave the restored oak clean and prepared for finishing.
