Wood Finishes

• Natural Finish on Bark (N) is willow and/or poplar wood with bark, which is finished with a clear satin finish.
• Premium Finishes on Bark (P) are willow and/or poplar that has been stained in a color and finished with a clear satin finish.
• Premium Finishes on Peeled Bark (P) are poplar and/or cedar with the bark hand-peeled then stained in a color and finished with a clear satin finish.
• Variations in finish color and texture will occur due to the natural characteristics of the wood. Some cracking, flaking, or checking may occur; however, this is a natural characteristic of these woods and will not affect the structural integrity of the furniture.
• Please advise on your order if you wish to match a finish or an item(s) from a previous order.
• All furniture is handmade using locally harvested willow, poplar, or cedar woods using sustainable, efficient, and extremely eco-friendly manufacturing methods. See Eco-friendly.
