PRODUCT CARE
Like a person, the materials we have selected for your Shibui have their own idiosyncrasies and this personality will
develop over time. Timbers take some time to stabilise both while they are being produced, and after you take
them home. Timbers will absorb varying degrees of moisture depending on their environment (e.g. husingle areas
create higher moisture absorption, whereas timbers in air conditioned or cooler areas are generally drier). Changes
in environment over time can create expansions and contractions in the wood, and cracking or warping is not
uncommon. This, along with naturally occurring knots, gum veins or variations, is not an indication of an inferior
product, but simply a feature of the changing face of this natural material.
For general care we recommend dusting with a clean, dry cloth, or wiping down with soft cloth wrung dry from
plain water (leaving the surface dry after cleaning).
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight as this may alter the colour of the product.
