Oak

Oak is a durable, sustainable, and versatile hardwood that is perfect for long-lasting products. Known for its strength, natural beauty, and rich character, oak is ideal for creating timeless tableware and homewares that improve with age.

Oak is an ideal choice for tableware due to its durability, resistance to wear and tear, and beautiful grain patterns. It adds a warm, natural aesthetic to any table setting and can withstand frequent use, cutting, and serving.

Yes, oak is safe to use with food. Its tight grain structure makes it resistant to bacteria, and regular cleaning ensures your oak products remain hygienic and safe for food contact.

Our oak is sustainably sourced from Scottish woodlands. We partner with organisations like Scottish Wood and Woodland Heritage to ensure responsible forestry practices that preserve native woodlands and promote biodiversity.

We take pride in sourcing, cutting, and transporting oak from woodlands just miles from our workshop. We prioritise local timber of the highest quality, which helps minimise our ecological footprint and supports the local economy. By choosing oak, we are also contributing to the preservation of native woodlands.

Oak is easy to maintain. Simply wipe down with a damp cloth or gently hand-wash with mild soap and warm water. To keep the wood looking its best, periodically apply a food-safe wax-oil or beeswax finish to preserve its natural appearance and durability.

No, we recommend not putting oak products in the dishwasher. The heat and harsh detergents can damage the wood, leading to cracking or warping. To extend the life of your oak items, wash them by hand.

Store your oak products in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight or heat sources. This helps preserve the wood’s natural integrity and prevents it from warping or fading over time.
