Text Box: Olde Wood Furniture Co. MAINTAINING YOUR RUSTIC FURNITURE FROM OLDE WOOD FURNITURE CO.           YOUR TABLE AND/ OR FURNITURE, COMES WITH A WAX FINISH.  THIS FINISH IS UNLIKE MOST COMMON FINISHES, THEREFORE IT REQUIRES A BIT  DIFFERENT MAINTENANCE THEN YOU ARE PROBABLY USED TO.           AFTER DAILY USAGE, WIPE DOWN WITH A DAMP RAG ENSURE ALL WATER HAS BEEN COMPLETELY SQUEEZED OUT.  MAINTENANCE ALSO REQUIRES YOUR FURNITURE TO BE WAXED PERIODICALLY AS NEEDED.  WHEN WAXING USE BRIWAX PRODUCTS ONLY AS WELL AS THE SPECIFIC COLOR YOUR FURNITURE WAS ORIGINALLY WAXED WITH.  *TO REMIND YOU, NEVER APPLY ANY TYPE OF OTHER CLEANING PRODUCTS, WAXES, POLISHES OR OILS.           COASTERS MUST BE USED FOR HOT OR COLD BEVERAGES TO AVOID RINGS, AS RINGS CAN FORM FROM THE HEAT OF A HOT CUP OR CONDENSATION FROM A COLD ONE.  YOUR FURNITURE WAS FINISHED WITH SIX COATS OF HIGH RESIN TUNG OIL TO HELP AVOID WATER RINGS, HOWEVER WE CANNOT GUARANTEE THIS WILL NOT HAPPEN.  HERE IS AN EXCERPT FROM THE BRIWAX PAMPHLET ON THE PROPER REMEDY OF RINGS:           WHITE WATER RINGS:  These are caused by condensation of moisture directly into the finished surface of the wood, affecting the finish from the outside in.  Most finishes are durable enough that only the top layer of the finish is affected.      Apply BRIWAX with #0000 (extra fine) oil-free steel wool, very lightly, in the direction of the grain.  Work on half the water ring at a time.  Use BRIWAX.  As soon as you begin to see the ring fade, stop, wipe-off excess, buff, and repeat the same process to the other half of the ring, until both halves match.  Be patient.  This may require several repetitions.  Be sure to feather out the edges of working area to blend with the entire finish.           ALSO NEVER PLACE A HOT DISH DIRECTLY ONTO YOUR FURNITURE.  ALWAYS USE TRIVETS AND PLACEMATS.  DO NOT WRITE ON PAPER DIRECTLY PLACED ON FURNITURE, AS THE POINT OF THE WRITING UTENSIL MAY LEAVE AN IMPRESSION IN THE WAX FINISH.  IN THE EVENT A SCRATCH IS FORMED IN YOUR FURNITURE, TAKE A SMALL AMOUNT OF THE COLORED BRIWAX AND GENTLY WIPE OVER THE SCRATCH.  ALLOW TO DRY FOR A FEW HOURS, THEN BUFF WITH A COTTON RAG.     ******   CUSTOMER AGREEMENT:  TERMS AND CONDITIONS   ******           CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR EXCITING NEW PURCHASE.  AS YOU KNOW ALL CUSTOMER ORDERS REQUIRE A 60% NON-REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT, AND THE BALANCE IS DUE ON OR BEFORE DELIVERY OR PICK-UP DATE.           YOUR FURNITURE COMES WITH SIX COATS OF HIGH RESIN TUNG OIL AND A BRIWAX FINISH.  COASTERS MUST BE USED FOR HOT AND COLD DRINKS ALIKE TO AVOID RINGS.  NEVER PLACE A HOT DISH DIRECTLY ONTO ANY FURNITURE, AND ALWAYS USE PLACEMATS.           AFTER A DAILY USAGE, WIPE WITH A DAMP CLOTH FREE OF ALL EXCESS WATER. MAINTENANCE OF FURNITURE REQUIRES WAXING PERIODICALLY AS NEEDED, USING ONLY BRIWAX.  USE THE SPECIFIC COLOR YOUR TABLE WAS ORIGINALLY FINISHED WITH.             ALL BARNWOOD FURNITURE ITEMS DESIGNED AND SOLD THROUGH OLDE WOOD FURNITURE COMPANY ARE MADE FROM VARIOUS RECYCLABLE MATERIALS INCLUDING 1800’S BARNWOOD AND OTHER STRUCTURES.  WE CANNOT GUARANTEE AGAINST REACTIONS THAT MAY OCCUR AFTER YOUR FURNITURE ITEM HAS LEFT OUR STORE OR MANUFACTURING FACILITY.  ALL OUR FURNITURE IS “ROUGH AND RUSTIC.”  CRACKS MAY DEVELOP ON THE WOOD SURFACE, CAUSED BY THE ADJUSTMENT OF THE WOOD TO THE VARIOUS TEMPERATURES AND HEATED ENVIRONMENTS IT HAS INHABITED OVER THE PAST 150 YEARS.  THE WOOD MAY SWELL IN THE SUMMER HEAT AND CONTRACT IN THE WINTER.  PLACEMENT IN FRONT OF A FIRE PLACE OR HEAT COULD CAUSE ADDITIONAL CRACKING IN THE SURFACE.  YOUR FURNITURE MUST SETTLE INTO THE HUMIDITY AND TEMPERATURE OF IT’S NEW HOME.  THIS IS THE CHARACTER OF BARNWOOD FURNITURE, IT ONLY ADDS TO THE BEAUTY AND CHARM.  THANK YOU,
