To seal or not to seal, that is the question!

We sometimes get asked if we coat our reclaimed timber or plywood products, and the answer is no and for a couple of reasons. Firstly we like to keep our products as natural as possible. This allows the children to feel the wood, see the differences in grain, the knot holes and the damage from its’ previous life. It all tells a story of where the wood has come from and where it has been in our world. The other reason is that we want you to be able to make your pieces of nature your own, change them to suit your environment and the way you like to use them. Some kindergartens, centres and schools encourage their children to paint them to create the ultimate in one off piece.

All our products are handmade and unique, and we celebrate that! So whether natural as it leaves us, coated with a sealant or painted, we hope that you enjoy the story that each piece of nature holds.
