Rules for Using Furniture

Every piece of furniture made of solid wood is unique. This means that no two pieces will have an identical grain pattern or color. Wood, as a natural material, exhibits irregularities. These result from the conditions under which the tree grew or the geographic region from which it originates. Differences in pieces of furniture made from the same wood species are a natural characteristic of the material.

Two pieces of furniture finished with the same oil-wax or varnish may differ from one another because they are made from different pieces of natural wood. Wood finished with oil-wax or varnish is not stained to achieve a uniform shade. The final effect depends on the color of the grain in a given piece of wood. Only PVC laminates and modified veneers offer consistent color and grain patterns.

Wood treated with natural products, such as oil-wax, requires further maintenance. Readmore...

Due to fluctuations in temperature and humidity, natural wood expands and contracts, which can cause minor warping or cracking. These are a natural part of wood. For furniture finished with oil-wax, regular re-treatment helps minimize this expansion and contraction.

Wood breathes and expands and contracts

As a result of UV radiation and the natural aging of wood, its color, luster, and smoothness change over time.

Wood changes color

Dimensional Tolerances in Wooden Furniture

Flower pattern / wood flowers

This is the natural grain of the wood, creating unique patterns that are rich and intricate in form. Numerous knots, along with the intricate interplay of grain and annual rings, create the appearance of flowers on the wood. This type of grain is also characterized by its uneven coloration. The fladrowy pattern is extraordinary and elegant, which is why in past eras it was often artificially painted onto wood and other materials. Of course, in the case of our products, everything remains completely natural.

A Linear Pattern

This pattern forms when the grain of a given piece of wood is even and harmonious. With this pattern, individual knots are not visible, and the pores appear as bands of varying lengths. The annual rings are quite distinct and typically run in straight lines. In oak wood with a straight-grained pattern, the growth rays are visible; this is a characteristic specific to oak, distinguishing it from the wood of other hardwoods.

Shiny pattern

It appears as small, light-colored patches on the surface of the wood. The wood’s luster—that is, concentrated medullary rays—is one of the most exquisite grain patterns: it reflects light spectacularly and makes the wood in that area even harder. On wooden furniture, this luster is equivalent to fingerprints in humans, dispelling any doubts about the material’s natural origin.

Variety of grain patterns

There is no better material for a tabletop than natural wood.take me HOME.” uses oak—Grade A wood with knots up to 5 mm in diameter—to produce its tabletops. This wood is highly durable and features an interesting grain pattern that looks refined and elegant. You’ll find a beautifully curated selection of all types of grain patterns—straight-grained and half-straight-grained sections, as well as sections with elements of luster.

It is not possible to select a specific grain pattern.
