Sustainability
Timber we can trace
We buy from licensed sawmills in Delta and Edo, and use plantation teak rather than old growth. Offcuts become chopping boards, and sawdust goes to a poultry farm in Ovwian.

Questions
About finishes
Which finish is easiest to look after?
Satin lacquer for kitchens and wardrobes; oil for doors and furniture you want to touch up yourself.
Will dark stains fade?
All wood changes in sunlight. Dark stains on mahogany fade least; keep curtains on west facing windows.
Can you match an existing piece?
Usually, yes. Bring a drawer or a photo in daylight and we will make test boards.
