Care
If left untreated roble will mellow down to a silver grey appearance. The timber can be left to weather down or alternatively can be treated with Alexander Rose timber treatment plus to enhance the beauty of the wood, timber sealer to ensure the best possible protection against grime and weathering or Golden Care protector.
Your furniture can be cleaned using soapy water and a stiff brush, allowing it to dry fully before the application of any timber treatment.

More severe stains such as spillages, birds droppings and mildew etc. can be removed by using Golden Care cleaner. Alternatively, sand using a medium grit sandpaper.
Lifting grain and cracks can be glued using a waterproof adhesive suitable for timber. Clamping may be necessary with excess glue being removed using a damp cloth. The area should be sanded once the glue is dry.

Material
Roble is a durable hardwood originally from Bolivia, naturally rich in oil and resins, it is a fast growing timber which can be harvested within 18-20 years of planting. Roble forests are 11 times more productive on a per hectare per year basis when compared to other forests, which may take 80-100 years or more to mature. Roble has a distinct yellowish colour with subtle hints of rich pinks through its interlocking grain. It is a strong hardwood with similar qualities to Teak, having excellent machining properties and a resistance to weather lasting 25 years making it ideal for furniture purposes. Our roble timber is sourced from a managed forest in Bolivia, they are far more productive compared to unmanaged forests. Unmanaged forests can be cleared of all vegetation and trees, resulting in negative effects on the wildlife, habitats and indigenous people. Managed forests prevent this from happening by planting and harvesting responsibly.
