Frequently Asked Questions
-
Yes. We aren’t about ‘green washing’, we walk the talk.
We have spent years planting out our property with mainly native species to support our local wildlife and to provide local and chemical free flora for our customers. Check out the Sustainable Floristry Network to understand how important it is to buy locally grown flowers.
For our handcrafted wood products we use Australian timber only, primarily from trees that have fallen due to insect damage, age, been removed for safety reasons or are a weed species.
We give this beautiful wood a second life. The timber is not chemically treated; it is dried naturally and microwaved to ensure no borers or other insects remain.
-
To maintain your wood products protect from extreme moisture and heat. Never put your wood products in the dishwasher. Use warm soapy water and then dry immediately.
If your timber product is looking a bit dull you can apply a high-quality food safe natural oil or wax to revitalise and preserve.
As a natural material, timber continuously reacts to its environment. It constantly absorbs and releases moisture, swelling if too wet and shrinking in dry heat.
The better you look after your timber the longer it will last. Just think about old timber tables or objects that are hundreds of years old that still look extraordinary today. If you’re an Antiques Roadshow fan you’ll know what I mean. The natural wear is evident but the timber’s character and beauty still remains and can look even better after decades of handling.
-
We use natural oil finishes, such as Pure Raw Linseed, Raw Tung Oil and Beeswax for food use products because it is petroleum and additive free, non toxic, food safe and protects the timber while allowing its grain, colour and unique natural patterns to remain the feature.
Is the finish waterproof?
The finish is water-resistant, but not waterproof. Avoid soaking wooden products or placing them in a dishwasher.
How should I clean my product?
Hand wash with warm soapy water then dry it immediately. Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals and scouring pads.
Will the finish need refreshing?
With time and regular handling, timber may become less lustrous. A suitable food safe natural oil or wax for wood products can be applied to refresh and protect the timber.
Can scratches or marks be repaired?
Minor scratches and worn areas can often be lightly sanded and refinished without coating the entire piece—one of the practical advantages of a natural oil or beeswax finish.
Will the timber change over time?
Yes. Natural timber may gradually deepen or mellow in colour as it ages and is exposed to light. This is part of the unique character and beauty of real wood.
