Caring for your furniture, solid timber.

An honest material, solid timber develops a natural patina in response to its environment – temperature, light, humidity and wear.

The lacquer finish on your furniture forms a durable surface, offering years of protection against dirt, dust and moisture. We use a commercial grade 2 pack lacquer system which is the most durable option available.

With thoughtful care, solid timber only grows more beautiful, and more elegant, with time.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

DAILY CARE

Wipe your furniture with a clean, damp microfibre cloth, then dry immediately with a soft cloth. Always follow the direction of the grain, never wipe across it.

EVERYDAY USE & SPILLS

Attend to spills quickly, wiping in the direction of the grain. Use placemats and coasters to protect the timber surface, and take care with objects that could scratch or mark it.

PLACEMENT

Avoid leaving furniture in direct sunlight or beneath air conditioning units for extended periods, as this can cause excessive movement in the timber — leading to delamination or cracking over time.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As your timber ages, its colour will mellow and deepen. A natural process driven by oxidation of the timber and finish, along with exposure to UV light. Each shift a quiet mark of honesty in the material itself.

With careful care, your solid timber furniture will become more elegant over time, developing a natural patina.

Memories of Tasman, from our team

We recently asked our team to share their favourite memories of Tasman, a place that’s always been close to the heart of Woodwrights. It’s where Adrian & Jackie founded the business, and where it still stands today. 

For many of us, Tasman isn’t just a place, it’s a collection of moments, memories and a life well-lived.

From early mornings by the bay to time spent with family and friends, it’s these memories that make the region so special to our team.
