The desktop is made from Canadian pine wood that is sourced from environmentally sustainable forests and kiln-dried to the moisture content of the average household. The top is sanded to a smooth touch finish, but we make sure to preserve each piece's rustic characteristics, including splits, knots, marks and unique grain patterns. Once sanded, a wax finish is then applied to offer protection to the wood and help intensify the character of the wood. 100% Natural wood is used so each wood top can vary slightly in colour depending on how the wood accepts the wax finish.
