Osmo Country Shades E32, featuring the tint called Charlie's Chalk, offers a unique wood finish designed to bring out the natural beauty of timber. Known for its deep, sustainable protection, Osmo’s high-quality oils and waxes penetrate the wood surface deeply, preventing damage from moisture, UV rays, and weathering while preserving the texture. This product enhances the wood’s grain without peeling or cracking, making it ideal for both interior and exterior wood surfaces. Using Osmo ensures a natural look combined with long-lasting durability, trusted by professionals and homeowners alike.

The Osmo Country Shades E32 finish is user-friendly, allowing for smooth and simple application even for DIY enthusiasts. Its quick-drying formula means less waiting time between coats, and the oil-based composition helps the color develop evenly without blotching. Maintenance is straightforward: reapply a fresh coat without demanding extensive surface preparation, saving time and effort. This product’s versatility and ease of upkeep make it an efficient solution for enhancing and protecting wooden furniture, paneling, decking, or fencing over many years.
Distinctive Color and Aesthetic Appeal
Charlie’s Chalk in the Osmo Country Shades collection offers a subtle, soft chalky tone that adds a classic, country-style charm to any wood surface. Unlike harsh paint or stains, this finish maintains the wood’s natural patterns and depth, providing an authentic rustic look.

NOTE
Country Shades is also available in any colour of your choice. Starting from samples of 0.125 litres per colour tone, mix to any colour from any RAL, NCS and BS colour charts, and many more.
Many wood species contain water-soluble coloured extractives which may leach out naturally when weathered.
Using power washers will severely decrease the coverage of the finish and general or multi-purpose cleaners will increase the frequency of maintenance and recoating.
SURFACE PREPARATION
Wood surface must be clean, dry and frost-free (moisture content max. 20%). Osmo Country Shades is ready to use. Do not thin. Stir well before use.
If possible, please apply the first coat to all sides before installation.
Clean old microporous stains thoroughly. Old paints and lacquers must be completely removed. As a general rule, wear a dust mask during sanding works. The finished surface and product coverage is influenced by several factors, including the condition of the wood. Therefore, a trial application is always required, especially for unfamiliar surfaces.
If additional protection against blue stain, rot and insects is desired, pre-treat the wood if possible on all sides with Osmo WR Base Coat.
METHOD OF APPLICATION
With Osmo Flat Brush or Osmo Microfibre Roller, apply thinly and evenly to the clean and dry wood along the wood grain and spread well. Allow to dry for approx. 12 hours under good ventilation. After drying, apply a second coat – also thinly. For renovation works, one coat applied to the clean and dry surface is usually sufficient.
CARE
Regular Cleaning: Damp cleaning with Osmo Decking Cleaner using Osmo Decking Cleaning Brush.
Occasional Maintenance: If necessary, intensive cleaning and refreshing using Osmo Wood Reviver Power Gel or Osmo Gard Clean.
Recoating: Simply re-apply one coat onto the clean and dry surface when signs of wear become visible.
TOP TIPS
- For new oily or exotic wood species, please allow approx. three months exposure to the outside elements after installation and before application.
- Over application can increase the drying times.
- For a white gloss finish, use Osmo Opaque Gloss Woodstain
