Finishing & Table Care
Color and texture will vary in old wood from piece to piece.  This can make color matching difficult
depending on the specific circumstances.  Every effort should be made to order pieces going in the
same room at the same time.  

All of our tables have triple sealed finishes using water based, environmentally safe products.  The top
coat is a low gloss water soluble varnish to provide a hard clear productive coat and resist water marks.
 If a wet glass is left on the table it normally will take 2-3 hours to develop a white water mark. This
white water mark will generally disappear after it dries out.
Since these are wood tables we
recommend the use of place mats, coasters and hot pads to maintain the original finish.
 Surfaces
should be cleaned with a damp sponge.  Commercial cleaners should be avoided as they can dull the
surface.  Waxes and polishes are not recommended or required.
