Description

Gaspard Tableau is treated with Satin Wood Oil. The oil penetrates the wood and forms a protective membrane that helps resist dirt and moisture. To preserve this membrane and keep dirt from settling into the wood grain:

Clean the surface with a soft cloth lightly dampened with water.

For grease or stubborn marks, use lukewarm water mixed with a mild, pH-neutral detergent (such as dish soap).

Avoid abrasive sponges, harsh chemicals, and excessive water, as they can damage the oil membrane.

Maintenance & care

To nourish the wood and prevent drying, we recommend re-oiling the surface with clear Satin Wood Oil (Linolie.dk) periodically:

Typically 1–3 times per year, depending on use.

Apply a thin layer of oil with a soft cloth or sponge.

Allow the oil to penetrate for 10 minutes.

Wipe off all excess oil with a dry cotton cloth.

Polish with a clean cloth until the surface appears dry and even.

Important: Cloths containing linseed oil can self-ignite. Always soak used cloths in water inside a sealed plastic bag before disposal.

Refreshing the Colour

If certain areas become worn or lose colour over time, you can refresh the pigmented finish using the correct colour of Satin Wood Oil. If you are unsure which colour your table was delivered in, please reach out to us for guidance.

Step 1 - Clean Wash the surface with a solution of 1 part vinegar essence to 50 parts lukewarm water. Allow the surface to dry fully.

Step 2 - Light Sanding Gently sand with a #400 sanding sponge. Always sand in the direction of the wood grain. Do not sand through the original oil layer.

Step 3 - Apply Coloured Oil Stir the oil thoroughly. Apply a moderate amount with a sponge and spread evenly.

Step 4 - Penetration Time Let the oil absorb for 10 minutes.

Step 5 - Wipe & Polish Wipe away excess oil with a dry cloth. Polish with a clean cloth until the surface appears dry with no oily patches.

Step 6 - Drying Time Allow the surface to cure for 72 hours. Avoid washing the table for the first two weeks.

For a More Sealed Surface (Optional)

If you prefer a more durable, semi-sealed finish - for example in high-traffic environments such as restaurants or hotels - the table can be treated with Osmo Hardwax Oil (Osmo Pure 3062).

Before applying:

Lightly sand the surface.

Apply the oil in very thin layers.

Please note:

The surface becomes more closed and resistant to wear.

The expression becomes smoother and less raw.

The wood feels glossier and less tactile.

Future maintenance must be done with Osmo products.

Local repairs are possible but not as invisible as with Satin Wood Oil alone.

Once treated with Osmo, you cannot return to Satin Wood Oil without fully sanding the surface down to bare wood.
