Wood Finishes

• Natural Finish on Bark (N) is willow and/or poplar wood with bark, which is finished with a clear satin finish.
• Premium Finishes on Bark (P) are willow and/or poplar that has been stained in a color and finished with a clear satin finish.
• Premium Finishes on Peeled Bark (P) are poplar and/or cedar with the bark hand-peeled then stained in a color and finished with a clear satin finish.
• Variations in finish color and texture will occur due to the natural characteristics of the wood. Some cracking, flaking, or checking may occur; however, this is a natural characteristic of these woods and will not affect the structural integrity of the furniture.
• Please advise on your order if you wish to match a finish or an item(s) from a previous order.
• All furniture is handmade using locally harvested willow, poplar, or cedar woods using sustainable, efficient, and extremely eco-friendly manufacturing methods. See Eco-friendly.

• When used outdoors, the furniture should be resealed at least once per year with a clear exterior wood varnish (such as Varathane varnish) and should be stored indoors during the winter months, if possible. The varnish may be sprayed or brushed on.
• When ordering for outdoor use, please advise at check-out if the furniture will be “completely outdoors” or “outdoors under cover” (under a roofed area).
• Please contact us with any questions regarding our woods and finishes, or outdoor use and maintenance.

Natural Finish on bark may be used indoors or outdoors under cover but is not recommended for use completely outdoors. No maintenance is required for indoor use. Variations in finish color and texture will occur due to the natural characteristics of the wood. Some cracking, flaking, or checking may occur; however, this is a natural characteristic of these woods and will not affect the structural integrity of the furniture.

Peeled Bark Finishes may be used in any interior or exterior installation unless otherwise noted on the Overview Tab for each item. All orders specified for “completely outdoors” will be made with peeled bark cedar. Variations in finish color and texture will occur due to the natural characteristics of the wood. Please contact us to request actual wood and finish samples. All cedar furniture will have some checking and cracking, however, this is a natural characteristic of cedar and will not affect the structural integrity of the furniture.
