Taking good care of your solid hardwood furniture ensures its longevity. It's easy and largely a matter of common sense. Below are some sensible things to consider: Hard Wood Characteristics  Figure 1 shows the difference in wood grain appearance, this is a natural effect created during the maturation process. As the tree grows the older sections develop thicker and clearer grain patterns. Your furniture may be made from several cuttings of the same tree, creating the unique contrast of markings.
Figure 2 shows a section of sapwood common in most timber, which you may find randomly throughout your furniture. Sapwood and random pigmentation are a common marking in real wood and are not a defect but add to the unique character of your furniture.
Figure 3 and 4 shows knotting the most common of markings and is the fingerprint of natural wood. These vary in size and occur frequently in natural products. These characteristics is why every piece of our furniture is unique, no two pieces will be quite the same unlike mass produced veneered or foil laminated furniture.
Keep your hardwood furniture looking great Hardwood furniture is made to be used and enjoyed and accidents happen, especially when there are small children at home. Take these steps to keep damage from everyday life to a minimum: Unless your hardwood furniture has a new "super finish" to protect it, use coasters to prevent spills, stains and damage from hot dishes. Blot all spills immediately. Keep solvents, alcohol, nail polish and polish removers away from your hardwood furniture surfaces. Always lift lamps and other objects, don't slide them across the furniture's surface. Always lift hardwood furniture when moving don't drag it. Open and close doors, drawers and lids gently. Avoid placing hardwood furniture directly in front of radiators, heat runs or fireplaces. Don't expose hardwood furniture to continuous direct sunlight.
