Black American walnut
Black American walnut is slow growing deciduous tree native to north America and Canada producing edible nuts. Black walnut 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, resulting in truly distinctive piece. 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.
Walnut tops are paired with black stained oak legs.
Black stained European oak
Our Ort legs are stained black before being hand cut to create contrast, and reveal the beauty of the natural timber beneath. Finally they are finished with a a protective clear oil to allow the timber to age gracefully without heavy discolouration and withstand daily spillage.
English brown oak
Brown oak is from an oak tree where the timber is naturally coloured by the fungus Fistulina Hepatica, commonly called the beefsteak fungus, due to its blood red colour. Often mature trees with a branch which has fallen off will attract the fungus and the colouring starts at the ‘wound’ and slowly penetrates the tree, so there may be a mix of white and brown in some trees, running to solid brown eventually. This means some tops can be all brown and others partially brown. Brown oak is rare to discover and valuable as such. Leaning towards the more unusual and highly-figured sections of wood, we hand-pick every piece - admiring the organic detail and lively displays of character. We use a protective clear oil finish to allow the timber to age gracefully, gradually getting darker without heavy discolouration and withstand daily spillage.

European oak
European oak is a temperate white oak hardwood native to Europe. It presents a golden to light brown hue with a minimal grain pattern. We use a protective white oil finish to allow the timber to age gracefully without heavy discolouration and withstand daily spillage.
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.
