Features

• Our solid wood pieces are hand-finished with a natural oil rub. An oil-rubbed finish is a more permeable and less intrusive method that allows the grain and natural tactility of wood to show thru. This approach creates a more direct connection between the user and the wood. Sealed and varnished wood is wrapped in a protective, artificial barrier, which limits and negates our engagement with the wood. We use solid wood, for its durability, beauty, and tactile qualities. Our oil-rubbed finish will allow the wood to behave and age naturally. This finish requires a bit more to maintain than if it was just wrapped in a varnish. We believe our products age very well. This is a conscious decision, which is the primary reason why we work with solid woods. Solid woods, as opposed to veneers, absorb nicks and scratches, thus gathering mementos of its life and interactions with its owners. Solid wood is affected by daylight and humidity. Please know that exposure to direct sunlight may cause color differences in the wood. We advise against the use of cleaning agents, or other forms of chemicals, on any of our wood finishes.
