Store flat in acid-free tissue paper or gift boxes inside a dry, temperature-controlled room during the off-season. Avoid damp basements and uninsulated attics.

Studio Secret: Annual Hardwood Reconditioning
Once a year, you can bring out the deep warm glow of your solid maple or walnut keepsakes by applying a tiny drop of food-grade mineral oil or organic coconut oil to a clean cloth, rubbing it gently in the direction of the grain, and buffing dry. The wood will drink up the nourishment and look as lustrous as the day it left our studio!
