The Nature of Timber
All timber species can feature natural diversities within the grain and colours vary from piece to piece, and we cannot guarantee consistency.
It’s not uncommon for timber to split or crack as it adjusts to the new environment. These are not considered a fault in their construction and care must taken to placement of the furniture item.
It is not advised to keep furniture in areas of high humidity, where drastic changes in temperature will occur, prolonged direct sunlight and near sources of heat.
Timber expands and contracts naturally due to seasonal changes and changes in temperature and humidity. Some joinery such as mortice and tenon joints and breadboard ends are expected to move naturally due to this and are not a defect.
-
Items Made from Reclaimed Timber
Any items made from reclaimed timber will feature signs of previous use such as nail holes, screw holes, absorption stains and other signs of foreign objects. They may also contain historic splits and other imperfections in the grain, and that these will either be embraced or infilled with wood filler to a flush finish. Customers choosing items made from reclaimed timber must accept this disclaimer.
