Solid Oak

Our solid oak dining furniture, renowned for its timeless elegance and enduring strength, undergoes a meticulous manufacturing process. The journey begins with the selection of premium oak for its strength, grain patterns, and distinctive character. 

The chosen logs undergo kiln drying, a controlled process using heat and airflow to reduce moisture content to a specific level. This crucial step prevents warping, cracking, and ensures structure integrity over time. 

Seasoned logs are then cut into planks of desired thickness using band saws. Depending on the design, we may use various joinery techniques like mortise & tenon joints, dowel joints or dovetail joints to assemble different individual components.

To enhance the natural beauty of the oak and achieve the desired aesthetic, we apply eco-friendly stains or oils. These highlight the wood's grain patterns and rich tones. Finally, a layer of protective sealant is applied to safeguard the wood from everyday wear and tear, moisture, and stains, ensuring the furniture's longevity.

Key Benefits

• Inherently Durable: The inherent density, a result of its tight wood grain, renders oak furniture resistant to wear and tear. This hardwood's natural robustness ensures enduring strength, making it exceptionally durable against the challenges of daily use.
• Natural Beauty: Solid oak furniture eloquently displays the wood's allure through distinctive grain patterns, knots, and warm hues. These inherent characteristics not only add character but also infuse an inviting charm, creating a timeless and visually captivating aesthetic.
• Resistant to Warping: Kiln drying reduces warping and cracking in solid oak by carefully controlling the moisture content. The process removes excess moisture, preventing uneven shrinkage and expansion that can lead to warping, ensuring the wood maintains stability and structural integrity over time.
• Wipe-clean Surface: Our solid oak tables boast a wipe-clean surface, thanks to the protective finishes. These coatings not only enhance the wood's natural beauty but also provide a barrier against stains, making regular cleaning effortless and ensuring long-lasting, pristine appearance.
• Versatile Style: Oak's adaptable nature shines through its ability to embrace various finishes and styles. Whether showcasing a sleek, modern look or exuding traditional charm, solid oak effortlessly aligns with diverse design preferences and interior aesthetics.

Care guide

• Dust Regularly: Use a soft, dry cloth to regularly dust the surface of your oak wood furniture, preventing the buildup of dirt and debris.
• Spills and Stains: Address spills and stains promptly. Blot up any liquids with a clean, absorbent cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Cleaning Solution: For occasional deeper cleaning, use a mild soap solution (like a few drops of dish soap in warm water). Apply the solution to a damp cloth, wring it out well to avoid excess moisture, and wipe down the table surface. Dry thoroughly with a clean, dry cloth.
• Protect from Heat and Moisture: While your oak dining table boasts a clear protective lacquer, it's still wise to use coasters or trivets for hot dishes and drinks to minimise the risk of heat damage and water rings. This simple practice helps preserve the table's pristine surface for years to come.

Sizing Guide

• Space: You'll need to make sure the table is large enough to seat the number of people you want, but also small enough that it doesn't crowd the room. Allow at least 90cm of clearance around the table so that people can comfortably sit and get up.
• Table Shape: For long rooms and open spaces, rectangular or oval tables often are the most natural fit, maximising space utilisation and creating a balanced look. Round or square tables can also work if you want to leave extra room for additional furniture pieces to complement your dining area. For smaller dining areas, round or square tables are often the ideal choice, promoting conversation and creating a sense of intimacy.
