THE UNIQUE NATURE OF WOOD

Over the years it tak es for a small sapling to grow into a mature tree, wood is shaped by sun, rain, wind, and temperature. These factors contribute to the aging and patina of the wood, making each piece of lumber a beautiful blend of colors, textures, and patterns. These natural variations mean that each piece of furniture we build is unique. The furniture you receive, while built to specific standards and dimensions, is a one‑of‑a‑kind heirloom you can treasure for generations.

Because wood is a natural product it behaves in ways beyond our control. Temperature and humidity changes cause wood expand and contract, even after protective finishes have been applied. This movement of the wood may create small cracks or variations in the wood's surface. These are not flaws but rather nature’s "beauty marks" which highlight the unique characteristics of each piece of furniture.

If properly cared for, your furniture will last for generations. Avoid exposing the furniture to extreme temperature and humidity levels. A humidity level of 35% 45% is ideal and will minimize the risk of cracks. Direct sources of heating and cooling should be avoided. Direct sunlight is also potentially damaging due to UV rays which can damage the finish. Don't store your furniture in attics, basements, or out buildings.
