Transform Your Oak: Achieve an Authentic Smoked Look with Woca Antique Oak Lye

What is Woca Antique Oak Lye?

Woca Antique Oak Lye is designed to impart a distinct smoked appearance to oak wood, enhancing its natural character. This ready-to-use solution interacts with the wood's tannic acid, producing a range of color variations that depend on the tannic acid levels. This interaction results in a unique, vintage aesthetic on each piece of oak.

How It Works

Simply apply the lye directly to oak surfaces. The chemical reaction with tannic acid darkens the wood, offering a bespoke, smoked finish. Due to the natural variability of tannic acid, each application results in a one-of-a-kind look, making it ideal for personalized interior designs.
