The wood we use

All Jan Hendzel Furniture products are created using single provenance or a combination of furniture grade English grown timber from a variety of UK suppliers and reclaimed timber often from within the local London Area.

Wood appearance

Timber is a natural material and as such will have variations in grain, colour, knots and other markings. We do our best to select and match as appropriately as we can, but we cannot accept returns on the basis of natural variations. Any special requirements for colour, matching, specific sawn etc. must be provided in writing and at time of order and can be discussed prior to production.

Timber Colour and patterning inspired by nature we encourage you to celebrate timbers natural imperfection. For samples please see HERE.

Warpage, shrinkage, and dimensional changes

Timber is an active hydroscopic material meaning it will loose or absorb moisture causing it to shrink or swell until it reaches an equilibrium with its natural surroundings. This is known to give dimensional changes depending upon moisture, temperature, humidity etc of the surrounding environment.

We purchase and supply furniture grade timber from some of the countries premium timber mills which has been kiln dried to correct moisture content for furniture making, however warpage, shrinkage etc, can still occur, especially when the furniture is shipped to drier or more humid climates from where it was made. We cannot accept returns that stem from climactic differences. Should movement occur in the wood addressing issues of temperature and moisture usually resolves the issue. We can best advise on timber specifics prior to production.
