Care

Moon Series

Goods are made using both responsibly sourced, and reclaimed native New Zealand timbers, and donated off-cuts.

Each piece is individually hand made, therefore no two are the same.  

Any and all impurities, cracks, knots, or nail holes in the timber are a sign of the natural material it is, and it's previous use. I consider these markings a thing of beauty, and I have preserved and included these purposely to celebrate and honour the history, age, and natural beauty of the timber.

A brass insert has been added to the hole for the candleholder for fire safety reasons. Please be aware that this is a wooden candleholder and it should not be left unattended, or have the candles burnt too low.

Each item is individually hand made, and is completely unique in form and grain. The piece you buy is one of a kind.

Goods can be washed with a cloth in warm soapy water. Please do not put your items in the dishwasher.

For occasional buffering if the surface becomes dull, buff with a dry and soft microfibre, or lint free cloth. You can also use a food safe, furniture specific wood wax or polish to maintain shine.

Please keep all goods out of direct sunlight as this may cause the timber to crack further, or create new cracks.

Goods have been finished with a food safe Osmo Top Oil with a non yellowing, clear matt finish. The information below comes from www.osmo.co.nz:

Top Oil is a transparent Hardwax Oil finish for wooden bench tops and joinery, as well as wooden coffee and dining room tables etc. Top Oil does not form a film like a polyurethane, so it cannot crack, flake, peel or blister. Dirt can easily be removed without trace.

• Food safe once cured
• Extremely water and chemical resistant
• Very durable and hard wearing
• Resistant to water, juice, tea, coffee, cola and wine.
• Based on natural oils and waxes
• Microporous breathable finish which does not crack, peel or flake
• Easily spot repaired

 

 

 

All kitchen utensils are finished with a food safe New Zealand made beeswax. They can be re-finished over time with a food safe wood wax or oil. Walnut oil and coconut oil are recommended. It is best to avoid using olive oil.  

 

Please do not put any wooden product in the dishwasher or leave soaking in water. Your pieces will last longer if hand washed with warm soapy water. Wood may go fuzzy after the first few uses, this is a natural part of the seasoning process and will soften in no time. 

 

 

Goods are made reclaimed New Zealand native timber. Lamps have been finished with Raw Linseed Oil and New Zealand made Beeswax.

Any impurities, cracks, or nail holes in the wood is a sign of it's age, and it's previous use. These marks are a thing of beauty, and have been preserved to celebrate and honour it's history.

Please keep out of direct sunlight as this may crack the timber further, or create new cracks.

Each item is individually hand made, and is completely unique in form and grain. The piece you buy is one of a kind, therefore your purchase will vary slightly from the product image.
