The oak that comprises this sideboard was carefully selected for its particular properties, such as its knots, unique blemishes and variety in colouration. One particularly special highlight of this piece of furniture are the delightful straight edges. Wild oak, however, is not a special subgenus of oak, but rather a grading of the oak wood. Wild oak is just as robust and durable as normal oak and is therefore ideal for the production of furniture. This handmade sideboard was produced in a family carpentry. In order to preserve the natural grain and liveliness of the individually selected pieces of wood, the surface was also oiled by hand. The oiled wood surface protects the wood from external damage. To ensure that the wood remains protected, it is recommended that the oiled wooden surface be treated regularly with wood care oil. The two wooden doors have a shelf behind each. Both the wooden and the glass doors have an integrated shock absorber within the hinges which prevents the doors from slamming, letting them close quietly and smoothly instead. Behind the glass frame door there are 2 glass shelves and a lower wooden shelf.
