WOOD
Many of our products are made from wood. Wood is a natural, organic and porous material, with each piece having its own unique character –no two pieces will be the same. Wood will expand and contract with seasonal humidity changes. Maintaining consistent humidity levels will help to minimize movement in the wood and prevent warping and cracking. It is important to note that air conditioning draws moisture out of the wood and can cause cracking.
