As part of the natural weathering process, cracks and splits will appear in the wood, particularly on the end grain, and to a lesser extent on the surface, within a few weeks. As with other close grain hardwoods such as oak, this is normal behaviour of the timber. Our furniture is designed with this in mind and its strength and durability remain unaffected.
