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.
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.
DETAIL
CONSIDERATE DESIGN
Our designs also need to work hard, and how our tables feel and work, as well as look, is thoroughly considered. The table should feel generous to its guests, and also inviting. The hand should wander to the table’s underside, the edge of the leg should not catch or bruise, and an extending table should store its leaves within, and be easy to reconfigure.
A SHARED PASSION
The people who make our pieces are also exceptional. We have a long, shared history with the workshop in Dorset. We share a mutual respect and trust. These makers take a huge pride in what they make for us. In our work the human hand is present from the crafting of the original model, through to the final sand and carefully applied oil.
NO COMPROMISE
Dining tables have to work – hard. Our tables are made from solid timber which means they stand up to the daily grind and last a lifetime. We prefer a protective oil finish that will age gracefully without heavy discolouration, withstand daily spillage, and can also be sanded down and rescued when the worst happens and ‘someone’ leaves a hot pan on top.
We source FSC and PEFC timber, and each table’s top planks are carefully selected and laid up to create not just a working surface, but also a tableau of the tree’s beauty and a testament to its long years of growth.
CARE GUIDE
Furniture with an oiled finish requires some low level maintenance to keep the wood protected and looking its best. Oil provides a semi-permeable finish, which means some liquids can penetrate the surface. To ensure the finish remains as resilient as possible to staining, it may require periodic intense care. We recommend Osmo - Liquid Wax Cleaner (clear 3029) for walnut pieces with clear oil finish and Osmo - Liquid Wax Cleaner (white 3087) for oak pieces with a white oil finish. Avoid placing furniture in direct sunlight or next to strong heat sources.
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. It is important not to use any chemical cleaning products or bleach as this will remove the protective layer of oil. For daily use we recommend Osmo - Spray cleaner (8026). We also advise periodic use of Osmo - Wash & Care (8016) as it contains soaps and oils to both nourish and prevent the wood from drying out. This will also prolong the oil finish and maintain its resistance to stains.
