Raw Timber for Bespoke Finishing

The unfinished European Beech frame gives you control over the final appearance of the visible woodwork.

The timber can be finished to suit:

• Existing furniture
• Upholstery fabric
• Interior colour schemes

• furniture
• Restoration projects
• Bespoke furniture commissions

Depending on the required finish, the timber may be stained, sealed, lacquered, painted or polished.

Browse Woodcare, Stains & Lacquers for products suitable for finishing and maintaining wooden furniture.

Staining the Raw Beech Frame

Where a natural wood appearance is preferred, a suitable stain can be used to alter the colour of the raw timber while allowing the grain to remain visible.

Browse Light-Fast Wood Stains for furniture finishing options.

Before applying any finish:

• Make sure the timber is clean and dry
• Remove dust and loose fibres
• Sand where required
• Test the chosen finish on an inconspicuous area
• Follow the manufacturer's application instructions
• Allow each coat to dry fully before continuing

The final appearance will depend on the timber, preparation method and product used.

Premier or Standard Footstool Frame?

The Premier and Standard stools provide two different frame sizes.

Premier Footstool Frame

Choose the Raw Premier Stool where:

• A larger 500mm x 335mm frame is required
• A more upholstered top is preferred
• The finished footstool needs to complement larger seating
• The timber needs to be finished to a specific colour or style

Standard Footstool Frame

For a more compact unfinished frame, see the Raw Standard Stool 460mm x 300mm.

The Standard version provides a smaller 460mm x 300mm frame, making it suitable where a more compact upholstered footstool is required.

Raw, Cream or Mahogany Premier Footstool?

The Premier frame is available in different finishes.

Raw Premier Stool

The Raw Premier Stool is supplied unfinished, allowing the visible timber to be stained, painted or finished to suit the project.

Cream Premier Stool

The Cream Premier Stool 500mm x 335mm provides the same Premier frame size with a light ready-finished appearance.

Mahogany Premier Stool

The Mahogany Premier Stool 500mm x 335mm provides the same frame size with a darker traditional finish.

Supplied with 3" Upholstery Foam

A 3" foam pad is supplied with the Raw Premier frame, providing the main cushioning layer for the upholstered top.

Additional materials may include:

• Polyester wadding
• Upholstery fabric or vinyl
• Base cloth
• Upholstery staples
• Spray adhesive

Browse Polyester Wadding for fibre wrap that can be fitted over the foam to soften the edges and create a fuller upholstered profile.

Adding Polyester Wadding

Polyester wadding can be fitted over the supplied foam before the final upholstery covering is applied.

It can help:
