Dust weekly with a soft dry cloth, wipe spills immediately, and keep pieces away from direct sunlight and heating vents. Every 6–12 months, re-oil or wax the surface with a food-safe hardwood finish to preserve the natural grain and lift the colour. Avoid ammonia and silicone-based sprays — they build up and dull the timber over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach Oakwalnut piece is \u003cstrong\u003ekiln-dried below 12% moisture\u003c\/strong\u003e, machine-jointed and hand-finished.
