We mix our own poly oil finish. This is a mixture of boiled linseed oil, raw tung oil, and polyurethane varnish. This oil finish penetrates deep into the wood and is not merely a surface finish. The resulting finish is highly resistant to scuffing and abrasion and is easily repaired by rubbing in more oil or paste wax with an abrasive pad.
Regular maintenance of your solid slab table will require little more than an occasional application of paste wax. This should only be applied in a thin layer and buffed clean with a soft dry rag.
On veneered pieces we use a sprayed conversion varnish. Chosen for its hardness and protective qualities, it is the only spray finish we currently use.
We always welcome custom work. Lead times and design deposits depend on the scope of the piece being created. Typically a $200 design deposit is adequate and once drawings are approved, the deposit will be credited towards your purchase.
We will either deliver or arrange for delivery depending on your location to our shop. To keep things simple, be sure to measure all doors, stairways, elevators, etc. If you are unsure and would like to have us measure for you or walk you through, we are always happy to help.
We'd love to show you around our shop. Just call ahead so we can be sure that we can accommodate you and give you directions.
