Burl is originally tree growth in which the grain has grown in a deformed manner. This type of wood is not suitable for solid furniture because it is very fragile. Burl is a thick knot of a tree, which is processed in veneer Foz in the furniture. This gives the furniture a unique look.

Want to keep the burl clean and in good condition? Then warm a dishcloth on a heater or in front of a stove. Brush over the table with this cloth, this way you will get the color back on the table nicely and it will be kept clean. You can also go over the furniture with a wet cloth and then polish it off with a warm, dry cloth. The following should anyone be aware of:
- Use a soft, clean cloth, possibly slightly damp to wipe your furniture. Never use an aggressive cleaning agent as this can damage the wood
- Watch out for sunlight as it can discolor wood
- Use a cloth and when your furniture has become damp, absorb it immediately, otherwise, the risk of stains arises
- Do not place hot pans on a wooden surface or write directly on the table as this may cause stains or bleed
- Light damage can often be repaired by using special oil. This oil makes the damage less visible. For more information on this or our products, please contact us.
