Black American walnut
Black American walnut is a slow growing deciduous tree native to north America and Canada. It is a hardwood prized for its dark brown, purplish hue with a sometimes swirling grain, it can display many unique characteristics, such as knots and variations in depth of tone. Walnut will get lighter with age becoming more honeyed over time. We use a protective clear oil finish which enables the timber to age gracefully without heavy discolouration and withstand daily spillage.
European 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. Oak is very hard, durable wood and gets darker and richer with age. We use a protective white oil finish to allow the timber to age gracefully without heavy discolouration and withstand daily spillage.
European oak can display a variety of characteristics from straight grain to large swirling crown cut grain Medullary rays, small 'Cats paw' knots all of which are an intrinsic and natural part of the grain pattern.

Frequently asked questions
How do I purchase this piece?
Our UK customers can check out online by selecting their chosen finishes and clicking the "Add to basket” button. Our international customers can get in touch with our sales team by clicking the "Request a quote button". A member of our team will reach out with a quote including shipping to your location.
How is this piece delivered?
This piece is delivered flat-packed and requires assembly. It does not include wall fixings (as these are dependent on wall construction).
What is the warranty on this piece?
This piece has a warranty of 24 months.
Will the timber change colour?
Yes, all timbers change with time. Different timbers react in different ways to UV and on different time scales. We recommend keeping all pieces out of direct sunlight to prevent light damage, however there is UV all around our homes and pieces will change. Oak tends to slowly get darker with age, we use a small amount of white oil in our finish to further slow down this process. Walnut gets lighter and more honeyed with age. This can happen relatively quickly depending on how much sunlight the piece gets. We suggest moving objects around on the surface of walnut so no shadowing from light damage occurs.
Where is the European oak from?
The majority of our European oak is from France though we source oak from FSC certified forestries across mainland Europe.
Is the timber responsibly sourced?
All of the timber that we use comes from sustainable sources with certification from Forest Stewardship Council (FSC). As the pioneer of forest certification, the FSC sets the standard for responsible forest stewardship that is environmentally appropriate and socially beneficial.
Care guide
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.
