About Shorea Wood
Wood Care Instruction
Shorea is a tropical hardwood that is comparable to teak. Because of its high oil content it
is resistant to rotting, bug infestation, and the effects of wind, rain, sun, and snow. If left
untreated shorea weathers naturally to a beautiful silver gray color. Some surface
roughness may develop, especially at the end grain, but over a period of about one year,
the natural weathering process will stabilize. Moderate checking in the grain is normal
with exposure to the elements. Small surface cracks that may appear in no way affect the
structural integrity of the furniture. As weather conditions and temperatures fluctuate
these small cracks may expand and contract.
To prevent the staining of concrete or tile the furniture should be rinsed well after
assembly to remove dust that might remain from the manufacturing process. Although
shorea weathers well we recommend a routine application of teak oil or Cabot’s
Australian Timber Oil in extremely dry climates. A routine oiling is also recommended for
furniture to be used for dining purposes to discourage staining from food and drink spills.
For seasonal cleaning rinse the furniture well and then scrub (using a sponge or soft
bristle brush) with a mild solution of water, laundry detergent and a little bleach. Rinse
with fresh water.
To restore the original wood color, Oxford Garden suggests applying Cabot’s Australian
Timber Oil or any high quality teak oil after cleaning. Test in an inconspicuous spot first, to
approve the color. Application of oil is at the customer’s discretion and is not covered by
the warranty. Paint or any products with polyurethane are not recommended, as
application of these products will void the warranty as well.

Step 1
On a clean flat surface, lay right leg assembly on its side
mortise holes facing up. Locate the small label on the bottom of the
seat that reads “front”. With the front of the seat toward the front of
the bench, line up and insert the front seat rail and seat into
the right leg assembly. Insert the large rounded pegs at the front
of the seat into the front seat rail.
Step 3
Insert the tenon of the bottom rail into the mortise
of the right arm assembly.
Place back seat rail into position, holes facing inward. Insert the
large rounded pegs at the back of the seat into the back seat rail.
Insert the left leg assembly into the rest of the assembled parts.
Secure the bottom rail by inserting a wood screw through the
under part of each leg as shown in figure 1 below.
Step 5
Step 6
Using a phillips head screwdriver, screw the remaining six
wood screws into the predrilled holes on the underside
of the seat to attach the seat back, front rail and leg
assemblies as shown.

Step 2
With a hammer, drive 8 dowels into the predrilled holes as shown.
NOTE: Insert the tapered end of the dowels first. The dowels should
be easily driven in flush. If there is strong resistance, do not force the
dowel. Sand to smooth off areas around the dowel pins.
