Care

Wood is a wonderfully natural material that is constantly changing. Changing in texture, color and even shape. Through expansions and contractions, UV exposure and use your wooden wares will change over time. With some basic care along the way natural aging can add to the character of the piece.

1- Do not soak.

2- Do not place in dishwasher.

3- If the grain has been raised due to contact with liquid over time, you can always sand it back down moving from low to high grit sandpaper.

4- Refinish your wares every now and then to maintain and enhance the beauty of the wood. Use only food safe and all natural finishes. Refrain from using food oils to refinish with as they will spoil over time.
