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.
-
As a natural material, timber continuously reacts to its environment, making ageing, cracking, and warping completely normal. It constantly absorbs and releases moisture, swelling if too wet and shrinking in dry heat. To maintain your wood products protect from extreme moisture and heat and apply high-quality natural oils and waxes to nourish and preserve.
-
We use Whittle Waxes natural hardwax oil because it is 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 completely waterproof. Avoid soaking wooden products or placing them in a dishwasher.
How should I clean my product?
Wipe it with a soft, slightly damp cloth, 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 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 hardwax oil 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.

A waterproof glass insert is included with the vase. Use the glass vial for fresh arrangements.
You can put dried arrangements in the vase with or without the glass vial.
