As the first company to produce acetylated wood on a commercial scale, Accoya® is leading the charge in providing durable and dimensionally stable wood for a variety of applications. In the acetylation process, softwood is essentially turned into a hardwood through the introduction of a non-toxic vinegar-like solution, creating a new type of wood that is durable all the way through the board, not just on the surface. In practice, this allows for a wood product that is significantly protected against the elements, making it perfect for installation in exterior environments where a standard sealed wood product would fail after only a short amount of time.
At Hewn, we build upon the extraordinary properties of Accoya® wood by applying our proprietary color and finish techniques to create beautiful, unique, and long-lasting wood products, suitable for a variety of applications, and customizable for the specific needs of your project.
Heritage Collection
Hewn’s Heritage Collection is designed to replicate the look and texture of traditional American barnwood, featuring colors and finishes that are appropriate for both rustic and modern applications. All of our Heritage offerings feature raised wood grain, highlighting the natural uniqueness of the sustainably-sourced material that we utilize in our products.
Ohana Collection
The Ohana Collection is inspired by the sights and color palettes of Hawaii. These colors are designed to be complementary to each other, and are ideal for use as an accent element, or as your primary color choice. All of these colors feature raised wood grain, adding depth and texture that cannot be created with a standard paint application.
Shou Sugi Ban Collection
Shou Sugi Ban is a traditional Japanese technique of charring wood, usually cedar, to increase its durability and resistance to fire, insects, and rot. The process involves carefully burning the surface of the wood to create a unique blackened appearance that is both aesthetically striking and functional.
Endless Versatility
The uniquely durable properties of Accoya®, created using an all-natural process, allow the wood to be utilized for a variety of purposes. Our sales representatives can customize your order to fit your precise needs and use-case scenarios.

Acetylated wood, at-scale.
Acetylation has been studied and practiced in the wood industry for more than 70 years. The process, by which wood is effectively “pickled” in an all-natural vinegar-like substance, was once considered impossible to produce in large quantities. With Accoya®, however, these barriers have been eliminated, and this durable real-wood non-toxic product can be produced and purchased at-scale.
And with Hewn’s expertise in coloring and finishing, Accoya® can be elevated to the next level, creating a timeless look and feel perfect for your next commercial or residential project.
