The Nature of Wood and Its Environment

All hardwood contains variation in its color and grain. In manufacturing and finishing its cabinetry, River Woodworking strives to bring out the natural beauty and character of each piece of wood. These wood characteristics give each piece of solid wood furniture its unique charm, although the finishing processes are identical, no two pieces will be exactly the same.

Because most hardwoods are open grained, solid wood will expand and contract with changes in humidity and temperature, even after protective finishes have been applied. Care in controlling the environment will help minimize the minor cracking and warping that is a natural part of the wood’s character.

Indoor humidity should be kept in the 35 to 40 percent range to minimize these effects. If the humidity moves out of the ideal range, wood can expand or contract causing a gap in the joints. This is perfectly normal as moisture is absorbed through end grains of wood causing more movement at the joints than in the center. Through change of seasons these changes will occur according to humidity levels.

Additionally, direct sunlight and fluorescent fixtures that contain ultra-violet rays can cause chemical changes in the wood and finish and should be avoided. With proper care, solid wood cabinetry will provide a lifetime of enjoyment and can be passed on to future generations.

Avoid Silicone When Cleaning Hardwood

Many polishing and waxing products on the market tout their abilities to keep finishings looking like new. But experienced finishers are adamant about one thing: Never use a polish that contains silicone. Silicone interacts with existing finish in a way that makes it almost impossible to refinish if should there ever be a need to do so. Refinishing after silicone polish has been applied results in a flawed finish. The best possible fluid for cleaning a finish is warm tap water. Some finishers recommend adding a bit of mild detergent. Avoid any harsh soaps or anything with abrasives.
