Here are some Frequently Asked Questions We Have Received
About Our Furniture

Why is all the furniture finished with an "Oil Finish"?
Untreated cedar will begin to crack fairly quickly if left outside. We apply a finish that is made of specially treated tung or linseed oil, mixed with a small amount of varnish. This oil contains mildewcides, drying agents and UV inhibitors. It will help protect your outdoor furniture from drying out, cracking and mildew, and it will slow the graying process. The oil finish should be renewed annually by applying a tung or linseed oil product with a cloth, waiting fifteen minutes, then wiping off the excess with a clean cloth.
What if I want to paint or stain my outdoor furniture?
We do not recommend any finish that actually coats the wood, like paint or varnish. Eventually, it will begin to crack, chip and peel. A better alternative, if you would like to color your furniture, is a transparent or solid oil stain, which is available at any paint store ot home center in a wide range of colors. These can be applied right over the existing oil finish.
How can I find out about your new products?

Can I order custom engraving?
Yes, please contact us. All chairs and loveseats can be customized by hand carved engraving. The junior furniture makes a great gift with a child's name on it.
