The highly skilled craftsmen at Royal Oak know that attention to detail is key Each centrepiece of English Pippy Oak is carefully hand selected to display the spectacular pips, split, Knots and swirling grain paterns to their best effect. These natural characteristcs are found in only one in every hundred trees. Each item is then carefully constructed using traditional techniques - drawers are dovetailed and cockbeaded, legs feature bobbin turning; doors feature fielded panels and fittings are solid brass. Each item is then treated to several coats of stain, polish and shading. This is a time consuming and labour intensive process and produces a deep lustrous shine. A final coat of beeswax polish is then hand applied to produce the wonderful warm patina that characterises the Canterbury Range.
