Use on natural ,unsealed reclaimed wood furniture to enhance the beautiful wood grains and add an element of protection against stains from liquids and food. You will receive a 12 oz jar of this awesome stuff that will make your furniture look rich in color and make those grains pop! This is made of all natural ingredients so your kids and pets are safe. It smells amazing as well! Also works great to recondition worn out leather shoes.

Note: Swilley's may also be applied to items that already have a sealant finish but please read instructions below for this wax buff method which will remove some of the shine from your finish. We always suggest you test first in an inconspicuous spot on the under-side of your furniture before applying to the top.

USING Swilley's All Natural Wood Rub:

Using Swilley's Wax as a Standalone Finish: tips
  1. A super easy, quick go to finish when protection requirements are low. Not much technique to it, no special tools required.
  2. The most "Natural" looking finish you can apply.
  3. Swilley's smells great. Many customers compliment its pleasant smelling aroma
  4. No fumes, little to no clean-up
  5. Wipe it on, wait, buff and done
  6. Better than no finish. Will help a little with controlling wood movement and warping due to changes in humidity. This only works if you finish all sides of the piece (for all types of finishes).
  7. Wax is great to use on woods that benefit from a little darkening to bring out their character.
  8. Great to use on: picture frames, jewelry boxes, kids wooden toys, bed frames, desks, benches, stools, tables with limited contact with water and food, night stands etc...
Things to consider:
  1. Does not provide abrasion resistance
  2. Needs to be periodically reapplied (once a month or so) to keep the finish looking new

You will also get a free 2 oz jar with any furniture purchase in our shop that comes unfinished. It's the most natural wood conditioner and treatment you will ever find on the market and we think its the best! That's why our name is on it!


USING Swilley's All Natural Wood Rub:

To apply, use a clean cloth and dab a small amount of paste out of the jar and onto your wood. You can rub it in any direction that you are comfortable with. As you start to rub the paste in, it will begin to melt. The melted oils will get absorbed by the wood and you will notice the grain becoming more visible and colors, enriched.

Once applied and thoroughly soaked in you should buff off any remaining rub with a clean cloth. Your table is now ready to enjoy.

We include a jar of Swilley's with our unsealed natural wood pieces for a variety of reasons.

  1. It provides an easy natural option for conditioning and protection from stains and food spills on natural wood.
  2. Another reason is if you should you prefer a darker, richer tone to your furniture over the lighter natural look. For a quick tutorial on applying Swilley's to natural, unfinished wood surfaces: Please go online to view this video: http://tinyurl.com/swilleyswood
** If you have a sealant on your furniture already, there is no need to use this wax unless you have chosen the finish from our shop called "clear matte sealant and wax buff which has a sealant treatment and a fine grade steel wool (#000) treatment with Swilley's applied as a surface wax. If you chose to have us apply the clear satin sealant to your wood surface already without the wax buff but don't love the slight shine of your furniture and want a more natural appearance you can also try our DIY approach below that is so easy you won't believe it.
  1. take a fine (#000) piece of steel wool and rub in circles with Swilley's on the pad lightly all over the surface.
  2. Buff off with a dry soft cloth. Done!

GENERAL MAINTENANCE

Wipe Dust with slightly damp lint free cloth. Clean food and liquid spills promptly. It is advisable to use coasters, placemats and trivets. Use protective pads under hot dishes. Cover the bottoms of all table legs with felt pads.

Do not use furniture polish or products that contain petroleum, alcohol, ammonia, or silicone.

Wood will expand and contract with seasonal humidity changes. Do not expose wood to extreme changes in humidity. Maintain consistent humidity levels of 40-60 % to minimize movement in the wood and prevent warping. Do not place wood in direct sunlight. Over time, air and sunlight will change the color of natural wood. Occasionally rotate the items placed on your wood furniture to allow a more uniform color to develop.

Our Swilley's Wood conditioner is only intended to be applied over unfinished wood surfaces. Outdoor tables, should be covered when not in use as direct sunlight and other weather can be very damaging.

WARRANTY

All furniture made by Urban Wood Goods has a 5 year limited warranty. We will repair or replace (at our option) any faulty product deemed to have been caused by manufacturing defects. Reclaimed, dimensional planks of lumber have inherent inconsistencies, natural defects and irregularities that are part of their unique nature. These are considered to be desired effects. Solid wood adjusts different times of the year to the moisture content of the air. In a sense the wood breathes. Wood will also adjust to the moisture content of your of space and its surroundings. You may notice your slab wood furniture piece move slightly and develop small cracks or dips. This is normal. Slab furniture cannot be compared to other solid wood furniture pieces. This product will have movement during its life and this is just the nature of natural wood slab furniture.

OUR WOODS

Our specialty is reclaiming urban wood from century-old buildings to handcraft modern furniture customized to your aesthetic and functional needs. We salvage these old-growth timbers primarily from buildings being demolished or deconstructed for adaptive reuse in Illinois—primarily the Chicago metro area—Wisconsin and Iowa.  When available, we offer U LTD Historic Woods in a limited release for custom orders, documented as sourced from buildings of significant historic interest.

Reclaimed, dimensional planks of lumber are desired for their unique character acquired over lifetimes of service in old buildings. Embracing the wood’s inconsistencies, natural markings, dings and small cracks will enrich your experience with our furniture.  

Our furniture is artisan-made. Variations in the wood are to be expected and celebrated. Each item is unique and no two pieces are exactly alike. 

By their nature, salvaged wood planks may be somewhat uneven—slightly shifting, dipping, cupping, bowing or cracking over time—further enhancing their one-of-a-kind character. Cracks may be present or appear over time, but do not reduce the wood’s strength or longevity.

All solid wood is a living material that “breathes,” expanding and contracting with seasonal changes in humidity. Maintain consistent humidity levels of 40–60% to minimize movement and prevent warping.

Among the many choices you have at Urban Wood Goods is deciding how much of the old-wood aesthetic you want to keep versus the practicality of the work surface you need. It’s a personal call, and our experience with these rare woods can help you find the balance that’s right for your home or business. Planing the wood on both sides achieves a smoother, more functional work surface, but less of the wood’s original patina and character remains evident; it’s a popular choice and our standard surface.  If you desire more of the “reclaimed look,” we can lightly hand-sand the wood, leaving it natural and unfinished, or skip-plane it and use our oil finish.  In addition to these planed-surface choices, the beauty of Urban Wood Goods is that every order can be Custom in selection of wood species, stains and finishes, surface treatments, size, bases, power inserts and more.

To protect natural wood from moisture and heat, use coasters, placemats, trivets and protective pads under hot dishes. Always wipe up moisture with a dry, soft cloth.

Natural and Unfinished Wood

In addition to the care guidelines above for all woods (stain finish or topcoat), we recommend Swilley’s Wood Rub Conditioner to protect natural and unfinished woods and to enhance their grain and color. Do NOT use on wood that has a stained finish or topcoat.

Before using, test a small amount on the furniture underside to ensure you like the effect.

Using a clean, soft cloth, dab a small amount of conditioner onto the wood surface and exposed grain ends of wood planks. Using another cloth, buff to remove excess wax for a smooth finish.

Apply conditioner annually or as needed when wood appears dry.
