Taking care of your furniture

Furniture

We have made our furniture as easy to care for as possible. With very effort on your part it will continue to look fantastic or many years to come. With our passion for wood you can appreciate that we like to protect our furniture at the same time as allowing the natural beauty to shine through as much as possible.

Our furiture is made from solid wood and as a such it can be affected by environmental factors such as temperature and humidity changes. These factors can cause the wood to expand and contract. With this in mind please do not place your furniture near to wood burners, radiators or underfloor heating.

Wood

All wooden components of our furniture are finished with Osmo Polyx Oil which is a hard wax oil that allows the wood to be protected and, at the same time, look as natural as possible. the finish is dry before it leaves our workshop but it will be fully cured approximatly four weeks after application.

To remove marks or spills simply wipe with a slighly damp cloth. Avoid permanent marks from things such as red wine, coffee or lemon / lime juice by wiping away immediately. If is important that you do not apply any harsh spray polishes or creams. Osmo do offer a dedicated spray product for cleaning pieces finished in their Polxy Oil. This can be found via their website.

Tough marks and scratches may need to be remedied by sanding and then reapplying Osmo Polxy oil if you feel the damage is severe enough.

Serving and Charcuterie Boards

Our serving and charcuterie boards are all made of solid British ash. To preserve the beauty of our boards whilst maintaining is food safe finish we apply Manns Top Oil. Made from a blend of plant based waxes and oils, Manns top oil is not only completely food safe it is also vegan friendly.

Once dry the finish really highlights the character of the ash as well as provding a robust finish. However, should you wish to ‘refresh’ the surface of one of our boards you can gentley sand wth 240 grit paper and reapply.
