Every soft oil table receives one of our furniture care kits, which include a can of oil, instructions for use, fine grade 0000 steel wool and a lint free rag. If your table needs some extra love and TLC, consider our table doctor service!

Table Doctor Service: We started this service to help customers re-oil and refinish their table/furniture. This service is only for oil/waxed and other soft finishes.
Our craftsmen will do a good thorough scuffing and cleaning of the surface, apply a new coat of finish, and buff.

Typically, this may take about 20-35 min depending on the size and degree of wear.

Care and Maintenance 

Soft oil finishes on wooden furniture direct from the woodshop need to build up a strong layer of protection over time. Extra care and maintenance early on will set you up for a fantastic piece of furniture for years to come.

  • For First 2 Months: Twice/Month
  • For First Year: Once/Month
  • After First Year: Once/3-4 Months

Tips:

For Everyday Cleaning: Use a mild soap and water on a damp cloth or natural cleaning spray to wipe up after meals and daily spills.

If The Surface Feels Sticky: You may have applied too much oil or too often. Simply scuff the surface again (step 1) and rebuff (step 3).

If The Surface Feels Extremely Dry: It may be time for another thin coat of oil and/or furniture wax.

The Wax/Oil Blend  is available for purchase. Please let us know when ordering and we can send you a can or two with your table.
