Varied Ideas
We all undoubtedly love the idea of constructing and transforming an old and shabby wooden heap into the dresser or table of our dreams, but this is rarely possible without the right tools, knowhow and maintenance products. Regardless of whether you’re transforming the dining space, sprucing up the garden or need to cut planks down to size for shelving, we have you covered with UV decking oils, colour tones and more. Figuring out your finishes of choice before embarking on a D.I.Y mission will allow you to stock up on the correct amount - and have minimal trouble when applying to the interior or exterior surface.
Designing And Completing
The ambitiousness of your project will depend on a few factors, with amateur craftspeople recommended to start off with a simpler design and work their way up. Getting to grips with tools and equipment should be approached with caution, and PPE should be acquired before consulting any safety guidelines. Take time to plan and complete the task, focusing on details above all else without rushing. Remember, good work is rarely completed without complications.

Maintaining Your Wood Furniture
Tips on maintaining wooden furniture are covered extensively within our past blogs, and there are plenty of variables from piece to piece. Generally, dusting often and keeping such areas clean with trusted products should be standard practice, and covering with cloths, protective sheets or other fabrics should conceal any blemishes. If wooden furniture is exposed to moisture, Mop up the spills of water as soon as possible. When using a mop or thick brush, ensure that it is only slightly damp, and never dripping with water.
