Frequently Asked Questions
Will it rust?
While the black oxide finish and linseed oil provide some protection, the table can still rust if overly exposed to moisture, humidity or the elements. As with most natural metal finishes, regular examination and oiling will reduce oxidization.
Why A36 Steel?
A36 Steel is the steel of choice for balancing consistency, workability, and durability. Matt sources his steel from North American mills.
How do the items ship?
Our metal items ship UPS ground directly from the forge in Maine.
Do I need to do anything to maintain the finish?
Keep the table in a dry, low-humidity area, and always use coasters for drinks. Periodically applying linseed oil will enrich the finish and maintain its protective barrier.
Why are the products so heavy?
We take pride in using solid steel versus tubular steel to make each piece. It requires more heating and more working but the final product is both more resilient and compelling.
