Most of our beautifully handcrafted furniture is finished with a number of hand rubbed coats of several oils. However, the standard finish for our hardwood dining tables is a conversion varnish called Kemvar which provides added protection for the kinds of use dining table often receive.
Kemvar is resistant to moisture, chemicals, and organicsolvents, and creates a hard surface finish. It is easy to care for. All you have to do is clean the wood surface with a dry-damp cloth. You should still use trivets under hot items such as casseroles. And use coasters, place mats, and table pads under dishes, glasses, and cups.
Thank you so much for sharing this very valuable information. It's worth the read!
