Sometimes cedar oil will leech to the surface, where it will crystallise. It appears as a white resin, which is harmless and can be brushed away.

Likewise, if the leeched cedar oil makes contact with our packaging, it may appear as a light oil stain on the inside of our cardboard packaging.

Knots are small marks that were once the base of a tree branch. In furniture, knots are often exploited for visual effect.

Fine cracks are sometimes visible and are characteristic of natural wood. They are not a defect and your boot trees come with a lifetime guarantee.

Small corrections are sometimes made to fill open knots or prevent cracks from becoming a problem

Each piece of wood is unique, with its own wood grain and colour. The majority of our cedar is heartwood, containing high concentrations of cedar oil.
