About Shorea Wood
Shorea is a tropical hardwood that is comparable to teak. Because of its high oil content it
is resistant to rotting, bug infestation, and the effects of wind, rain, sun, and snow. If left
untreated shorea weathers naturally to a beautiful silver gray color. Some surface
roughness may develop, especially at the end grain, but over a period of about one year,
the natural weathering process will stabilize. Moderate checking in the grain is normal
with exposure to the elements. Small surface cracks that may appear in no way affect the
structural integrity of the furniture. As weather conditions and temperatures fluctuate
these small cracks may expand and contract.
Wood Care Instruction
To prevent the staining of concrete or tile the furniture should be rinsed well after
assembly to remove dust that might remain from the manufacturing process. Although
shorea weathers well we recommend a routine application of teak oil or Cabot’s
Australian Timber Oil in extremely dry climates. A routine oiling is also recommended for
furniture to be used for dining purposes to discourage staining from food and drink spills.
For seasonal cleaning rinse the furniture well and then scrub (using a sponge or soft
bristle brush) with a mild solution of water, laundry detergent and a little bleach. Rinse
with fresh water.
To restore the original wood color, Oxford Garden suggests applying Cabot’s Australian
Timber Oil or any high quality teak oil after cleaning. Test in an inconspicuous spot first, to
approve the color. Application of oil is at the customer’s discretion and is not covered by
the warranty. Paint or any products with polyurethane are not recommended, as
application of these products will void the warranty as well.
