{material/treatment}
The bench is manufactured using cornis from responsibly managed forests.
The dense almost knot-free grain of cornis comes with an oiled finish giving it a smooth lustre. It is pink to reddish brown colour.
This is a moderately durable hardwood, able to resist the most inclement weather, giving a life span of ten years if properly looked after, it is therefore well suited for garden furniture.
Due to the weathering process and timber being a natural material, joints will become slightly offset and surface cracks will occur. Depending on the climatic conditions when your bench is outside, this can happen within only a few hours and will not compromise the strength of the bench, which is designed with this in mind. Using Alexander Rose timber care products will to an extent, reduce the cracks and splits.

{maintenance}
Cornis comes with an oiled finish giving it a smooth lustre. If left untreated, it will go darker first then mellow to silver/grey.
The time span for this will vary depending on weather conditions and its location in the garden.
Should you prefer to keep the original colour, it is advised to treat the bench using the Alexander rose range of timber care products: timber cleaner, timber treatment, timber sealer, cornis oil.
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 Alexender Rose cleaner.
Lifting graing 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.
From time to time it is necessary to check and if required, re-tighten all bolts.

{engraving}
One engraved inscription is included in the price of your memorial bench. You have a choice of a computer controlled engraving direct into the top rail of the bench, brass plaque or laminate plaque.
