European pippy oak
European oak is a slow growing hardwood native tree to Europe. It has a golden to light brown colouring with a variety of grain patterns. Pippy oak references sections of the tree that are intrinsicly twiggy - presenting as a characterful abundance of small knots and knot clusters throughout each board when the tree is sectioned. We carefully select pieces that are "lightly pippied" meaning that the scattering of knots is not so abundant that it distracts from the grain of the oak. Oak is very hard, durable wood and gets darker and richer with age.
Finish - white oil. We use a slightly white pigmented satin hard-wax oil that slows the darkening of the timber.
Black American walnut
Black American walnut is a slow growing deciduous tree native to north America and Canada. It is prized for its dark brown, purplish colour with a sometimes swirling grain. Walnut is not as hard as oak yet still durable. It will get lighter with age becoming more honeyed over time.
Finish - Clear oil. We use a clear satin hard-wax oil that enriches the colour of the timber.
Oiled wood
An oiled finish is a durable natural looking finish that can be revitalised (and if necessary, more easily repaired). Oiled finishes require some low level maintenance to keep the wood protected and looking its best.
Day to day cleaning:
• Wipe clean with a damp non-abrasive cloth, then using a dry cloth remove any excess moisture.
• Wipe up wine, oil and any liquids that might stain as quickly as possible.
• To ensure the finish remains as resilient as possible to staining we recommend Osmo Wash & Care (8016) as it contains soaps and oils to both nourish and prevent the wood from drying out.
6 monthly replenishment / more stubborn stains:
• As the piece is used it can dry out as the oil can thin with wear and washing with water alone. If the table looks dry or you have a more stubborn stain we recommend using a revitalising Osmo Liquid Wax Cleaner (white 3087) for oak pieces and (clear 3029) for walnut pieces
Do not:
• Leave any water, wine, oil or liquids that might stain – wipe up as quickly as possible. (Oil provides a semi-permeable finish, which means some liquids can penetrate the surface if left).
• Use any chemical cleaning products or bleach as this will remove the protective layer of oil and it will then stain.
