You can choose what finish you require from oils to varnish, beeswax or even freshly sanded(for you to add your own finish). The beam in the pictures is finished with danish oil which brings out the beautiful natural colours, your beam will come with this finish unless selected otherwise.
The choices of colour available is. Natural oak - (no stain or oils, just sanded finish). Finishes can be seen in the pictures above. My mantels will outlive any modern mass produced or imported furniture as they are made from solid Oak with time and care!
