Material-specific authority schedule
Ten controls owned by this exact material—not inherited category rows. Final values are confirmed from supplier data, the project sample and shop drawings.
- Declared project reference
- Smoked Oak Wood Finish: Deep grey-brown oak appearance; smoked or colour-matched stain system
- Exact material identity
- Oak darkened by reactive/fumed, stained or combined process; chemistry and exact oak construction must be declared.
- Technical system definition
- An oak finish darkened either by genuine ammonia fuming reaction with tannins or by a colour-matched stain system. These are visually related but chemically and repair-wise different specifications.
- Selection differentiator
- Deep brown-grey colour follows oak grain while reactive processes can create intentional variation.
- Critical approval decision
- State whether real fumed oak is mandatory or a controlled smoked-look stain is acceptable; the route changes colour variability, safety controls and field repair.
- Non-equivalent substitute
- Pigmented dark stain is not automatically equivalent to fumed/reactive oak in colour depth or repair.

02 · System anatomy
The material is not a single surface.
An oak finish darkened either by genuine ammonia fuming reaction with tannins or by a colour-matched stain system. These are visually related but chemically and repair-wise different specifications.
01Finish system
Layer function
Stain, pore fill, sealer and topcoat create colour, sheen, chemical resistance and repair behaviour.
How to verify
Approve the complete system on production species/veneer with measured sheen.
02Face material
Layer function
Solid timber, natural veneer, engineered veneer, cane or lacquer determines grain continuity and edge strategy.
How to verify
Draw every visible face, grain direction, veneer cut and solid lipping.
03Core / substrate
Layer function
Solid stock, plywood, MDF or particleboard controls stability, screw holding, weight and emissions.
How to verify
Declare board manufacturer/type, density where relevant, thickness and emissions class.
04Joinery / movement
Layer function
Joints, adhesives, fasteners and cross-grain allowance transfer loads while accommodating moisture movement.
How to verify
Prototype high-load joints and show movement allowances in shop drawings.

This material-specific application image shows Smoked Oak Wood Finish on its own product and is not reused by any other material page. Final colour, pattern and finish remain subject to the approved physical sample.
Project notes
From sample to production.
01
What to specify
Define species, solid-versus-veneer construction, visual grade, moisture target, grain match, stain colour, sheen and substrate/emissions requirement. These terms prevent major tender substitutions.
02
Fabrication & detailing
Use kiln-dried components, balanced veneer construction and solid lipping to exposed edges. Coordinate movement allowances, grain direction, hardware clearances and concealed reinforcement in shop drawings.
03
Colour & finish approval
Timber and veneer are natural materials. Colour, figure and grain movement vary; a signed control sample and veneer lay-up establish the visual standard before production.
04
Care & maintenance
Wipe with a soft damp cloth and dry immediately. Use coasters and felt protection; avoid standing water, abrasive cleaners, hot objects and rapid humidity changes.
Specification note
This page is a preliminary specification guide. No value, brand reference or material name constitutes automatic compliance. Current product data, test reports, physical sample or slab and the furniture construction must be approved for each project before ordering or manufacture.
