FURNITURE CARE & INFO

MAINTAINING YOUR HANDMADE FURNITURE.

I only use FSC certified timbers in all of my pieces.

Less is more.

Your handmade furniture is finished with a high grade & eco friendly hard wax-oil making it extremely tough and durable. If treated well, it won't ever need refinishing. 

Your furniture will be touch dry on delivery but it takes a couple weeks to fully 'cure' - extra care should be taken within this two week period.

I use solid timber. Sometimes the wood reacts in unpredictable ways and slight colour variations are possible. An order placed in October may be slightly different to an order placed in June when using a completely different batch of lumber.

Please note; this is a softwood species so although it is durable the surfaces can be dameged and marked if not treated with care.

For daily maintenance wipe with a damp lint-free cotton cloth. Do not use regular household sprays, especially those containing silicone. 

For optimal results surfaces should be treated with OSMO SPRAY CLEANER which can be purchased here.

Once a month I recommend using OSMO WAX CLEANER which can be purchased here.

As is the nature of wood, these pieces will take time to settle into their new home environment - they will move and twist and bow a little. There will be a level of shrinking and expansion with the seasons and I recommend that you position away from direct heat - such as radiators and open fires - for the first 7-10 days and keep out of direct sunlight. Sun can bleach the timber and can dry it out too quickly which may cause cracks.

If you have any questions about the continued care of your items, please don't hesitate to get in touch.
