The dining table in the Cottage at Struan Farm was sent off to the woodworker a few weeks ago for some much needed love and attention. It's a piece I brought with me to New Zealand from the USA, is made of Vermont Oak, and was one of my first "real" pieces of furniture purchased after leaving home.
However I've never really known how to care for it properly, and strong sunlight in the Cottage was taking a toll. We had the chairs refinished last year, now it was time to take the table off to be looked after.
Wow, thanks to Noel Pearson of Otorohanga, furniture maker and woodworker extraordinaire, who has brought this table back to life! It will be covered when guests aren't using the Cottage to try to protect it, and he's told us NO OIL, something I was surprised to learn.
