Product care

Made to be used.Made to be kept.

Wood is a living material. A little care keeps a piece beautiful for a lifetime, and most of it is common sense.

Everyday use

  • Wipe with a damp cloth and dry straight away.
  • Never put a wooden piece in the dishwasher or leave it soaking in water.
  • Keep it away from direct heat and long spells of direct sunlight, which can dry and fade the surface.

Boards and kitchen pieces

  • Wash by hand with mild soap, rinse and stand on edge to dry.
  • Refresh the surface now and then with a food-safe oil or board conditioner; when the wood looks dry, it's ready for a coat.
  • Light knife marks are part of a board's story. If a surface ever needs renewing, ask us.

Boxes, coasters and small goods

  • Dust with a soft cloth. A little furniture wax once a year keeps the sheen.
  • Felt or cloth under hard objects protects the finish.
  • Hardware can be tightened or replaced; please don't force a stiff hinge.

When something goes wrong

  • Scratches, dents, a dull finish, a loose joint: most things can be repaired or refreshed. Tell us what happened and we'll suggest what to do.
  • If it was made by us, we'd rather restore it than see it replaced.
