CARE & MAINTENANCE
Overview
  • Lanterman Woodworks works primarily with lumber that is milled from trees that have been felled for a variety of reasons, including safety concerns, disease, storm damage, or property development. More often than not, these trees are turned into firewood or mulch. Increasingly, tree services and property owners recognize the intrinsic value within each tree that has met the end of its standing life cycle. By salvaging these logs and milling them into lumber, they take on a new life as furniture showcasing the singular beauty that only nature can create.
  • The lumber that is produced from "urban" tree salvage is typically classified as character grade lumber. This means it often includes features that would otherwise be graded as imperfections. At Lanterman Woodworks, we believe these features add to the natural beauty of each unique piece of furniture. Knots, checks and other small cracks are stabilized using wooden reinforcements and flexible epoxy as needed.
  • Solid wood moves and breathes according to its environment. Solid wood furniture that is kept within a space that is not climate controlled will expand and contract according to the changes in humidity of the surrounding environment. Climate controlled spaces will minimize (not eliminate) this movement. All pieces are fabricated with this in mind and are designed to move with the seasons no matter their environment.

Wood Finish
  • Lanterman Woodworks uses a hard wax oil to finish most pieces. This is a completely non-toxic, solvent-free, food safe wood finish that cures and polymerizes within the wood on a molecular level. This style of finish boasts exceptional richness and clarity, showcasing the natural beauty of the wood. This is a very durable and serviceable finish that can be easily spot repaired or refinished on site without any specialized equipment. This is not a plasticized film finish that sits on top of the wood.

​Cleaning
  • Care must be taken when choosing what products to use when cleaning all wooden surfaces. This is especially true for wood products with oil finishes, as traditional cleaners often contain harsh chemicals and abrasives that strip the natural oils from the wood. 
  • The best everyday cleaner to use on all tables from Lanterman Woodworks is a 1:10 mixture of white vinegar and water mixed in a spray bottle. This is a safe, effective and inexpensive all-purpose cleaner that can be used around the home
  • A bottle of rejuvenating cleaner that is specifically compatible with the finish will also be provided with each order. This cleaner contains a small amount of the oil finish and will help maintain the luster of the table.
  • Detailed care and maintenance instructions will be provided with each order.
