The wood is dried for several months and allowed to develop natural cracks and separations. After being shaped, the tables are given a clear lacquer topcoat and finished with a natural wax for protection.
There will be various separations, splits and cracks on your table when it arrives. These naturally occur as the wood dries and shrinks. Over time, some continued shrinkage may accentuate existing separations or generate new ones. This does not compromise the structural performance or integrity of the wood and is considered inherent to the natural beauty of the design.
