Sutherland Welles was founded by Frank Sutherland Welles in 1965, a wood finisher and visual artist, as a result of seeking an environmentally friendly replacement finish for a French Polish. His pursuit led him to polymerized tung oil as a base to make high-quality finishes and has since amassed a loyal following all over North America. Tung oil is extracted from the nuts of Tung trees. The trees are native to China, and was a significant US crop until World War Two. Tung oil was used for centuries to preserve and finish wood, metal and paper.
Sutherland Welles hand crafts a full line of interior and exterior tung oil finishes, as well as resin reinforced systems for greater protection, creating beautiful, durable and timeless finishes for all types of finishing projects. Sutherland Welles is the only company in North America to make wood finishes using Polymerized Tung Oil. Polymerization changes the molecular structure of the oil through a heat treatment, making it react to oxygen better to dry faster, harder and glossier. Polymerization enables the finish to use miniscule amounts of chemical driers in the finishes, unlike raw tung oil finishes. Our finishes contain the highest concentration of tung oil in the industry. Our Original and Botanical Polymerized Tung Oil lines have UL Greenguard certification for low chemical emissions. All our finishes use only the highest quality tung oil from sustainable farms. The company is committed to providing its customers with excellent customer service and exceptional, environmentally friendly finishes.
