Caring For Hardwood

Every Piece

• Dust with a soft, dry cloth. A barely damp cloth is fine for marks, then dry it straight away.
• Avoid sprays, furniture polish and household cleaners. They cloud the finish.
• Keep pieces out of strong direct sun, which fades and changes the wood's color over time.
• Keep them away from heaters, vents and very humid rooms, which make wood move.

Wall Pieces

• Hang on an inside wall where you can, away from radiators and bathrooms.
• Use the hidden keyhole or hanger on the back, on a screw or anchor rated for the weight.
• Never touch carved calligraphy with anything wet. Dust it with a soft brush.

Oil-Finished Pieces: Boards And Keepsakes

• Hand wash with mild soap and warm water, then dry and stand it on its edge.
• Never put it in the dishwasher or leave it to soak.
• Re-oil periodically, about once a month for boards in regular use or whenever the wood looks dry, using a food-safe hardwax oil such as Odie's Oil, mineral oil, or beeswax board butter.

Lacquered Furniture, Cabinetry And Wall Pieces

• Dust with a soft microfiber cloth. A lightly damp cloth is fine for marks, then dry it straight away.
• Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive pads, sprays and furniture polish, which can dull or cloud a lacquered surface.
• Wipe up spills promptly, and use coasters and trivets on tabletops and consoles.

Resin, Brass And Glass

• Keep hot pans and drinks off resin. Use a trivet or coaster.
• Wipe brass with a dry cloth. Its warm patina is part of the piece.
• Clean glass with a soft cloth and a little glass cleaner sprayed onto the cloth, never onto the wood.

Lead Times

Every piece is made to order. Most take 4 to 6 weeks from the day you approve the design, and larger architectural work can take longer. We confirm your timeline when we confirm your order.
