TIMBER IS A NATURAL PRODUCT

​

Wood is a natural product, we cannot be held responsible for splitting, warping, discolouration, or tannin bleed of products. Timber contains different colour shades, granular variations and will mature and darken over time. Being natural solid timber, it will move to some degree; this is part of the character of timber and the beauty is that no two pieces are the same.
