Knots are a natural feature of timber and in many cases, enhance the appearance of the wood. These and other experiences contribute to the character of each piece of wood, and make each piece of timber unique. This individuality gives anything crafted from timber a character of its own and is not considered a defect.

Cracking and checking of timber is a very natural part of the life cycle of wood – even once it's been cut, shaped, and prepared. This individuality gives anything crafted from timber a character of its own and is not considered a defect.

Timber laminations which are layers of wood glued together with structural adhesives. This helps to create different sizes and shapes in timber that wouldn’t be easily sourced from natural wood and is superior to solid timber due to its high strength and dimensional stability

Wax is typically used as a sealant, which protects it from moisture and dirt and keeps the timber natural. It's non-toxic, environmentally friendly and can penetrate through layers of wood. Most of our timber items come pre-oiled; however, timber requires a regular maintenance program to maintain its natural shine and prevent it from drying, warping or splitting. We recommend polishing timber products every 3 to 6 months, using a natural beeswax polish to restore and maintain.

Brushed brass arrives with a bright brushed finish. It may show small signs of patination and fingerprints, but these should be slight. Then as time goes on, the brass will become dull and darken, and marks may start to show. Sometimes this can be accelerated in wet or damp environments. All our machined brass components use solid brass; we do not use plating. We apply a thin protective clear coat over the metal surface to slow the patination process down, but it will gradually patina over time.
