An oil finish using safe Livos Ardvos oil, compliant with high-end solid wood furniture standards, is applied. Unlike urethane finishes that may inhibit wood breathing, the oil finish allows the wood to maintain its natural characteristics and texture, providing a rich sensory experience.
 
- Safe and reliable oil.
We use "Livos Ardvos," a transparent penetrating oil specifically designed for broadleaf trees. This oil provides excellent water repellency and enhances the wood grain with a silky sheen. It deeply penetrates the wood while maintaining its ability to breathe, thanks to its high oxygen permeability. The finish achieves a soft matte appearance. Additionally, it has been certified to meet the German standard (DINEN 71 part 3), ensuring its safety for use.
 
- Finished with beeswax cream.
Our products are finished with beeswax cream sourced from "Oyama Seizai" in Toyama Prefecture. The application of this cream noticeably improves the texture of the wood, allowing for enjoyable maintenance and care by yourself.
