The Beauty of Reclaimed Oak 
 
Oak is renowned for its strength, density, and longevity making it one of the finest materials for handcrafted furniture. Oak trees can take well over 100 years to mature, producing timber that is naturally harder, heavier and more resistant to dents and scratches than pine.
 
Our reclaimed oak tables are built from carefully sourced salvaged timber, preserving the natural beauty and character of aged wood while creating sustainable furniture full of history and individuality.
 
Because reclaimed oak has lived a previous life, your table is very likely feature original knots, grain variation, saw marks, aged splits, nail markings, and uneven textures that reflect the timber’s heritage and authenticity.
 
These natural features are not faults or defects - they are part of the rustic charm and individuality that make reclaimed wood furniture so desirable.
 
Where necessary, we occasionally use carefully blended filler or traditional wooden splints within certain natural cracks to help strengthen and stabilise the timber while preserving its authentic appearance.
 
If you are looking for a perfectly smooth or completely uniform surface, reclaimed wood furniture may not be suitable.

Reclaimed Oak Furniture Aftercare
To keep your reclaimed oak dining table looking its best, we recommend applying a high-quality natural clear beeswax polish every 4 weeks to nourish and protect the timber.
 
We recommend Parr’s Clear Natural Bees Wax Polish.
 
A complimentary pot of clear beeswax polish is supplied with your order. Once your table is in place, we advise giving the tabletop a good buff to help the wood settle into its new environment.
 
As wood is a natural material, it will naturally expand and contract with changes in temperature and moisture levels. Regular waxing helps maintain moisture within the timber and may help minimise drying and movement over time.
 
Important Care Recommendations
Use placemats and coasters to help prevent marks
Do not place hot dishes directly onto the tabletop
Avoid positioning furniture in direct sunlight
Keep away from radiators and direct heat sources
Use furniture pads if you have underfloor heating
Reapply beeswax polish regularly to maintain protection and appearance
 
Please read our full Furniture Care Guide before purchasing reclaimed wood furniture.
 
Important Information
Please note that due to the unique nature of reclaimed timber, every handmade table will vary in colour, grain, texture, and overall appearance from the photographs shown.
 
All tables are finished in a medium wax finish; however, exact colour matching cannot be guaranteed.

Natural movement, character markings, and variations within the timber are expected characteristics of reclaimed wood furniture and are not considered manufacturing defects.
