Walnut Serving Board
Hand-turned from a solid block of walnut, this round board is beautiful on its own or as a functional serving platter. The chocolate and gold colors of the woodgrain are lovely to admire from all angles, and a base of raised concentric rings has it floating above the surface. Made on a lathe previously owned by her father, Seattle artist Katherine Wesselman is precise in every detail, and thoughtful in her design. A light linseed oil finish emphasizes the luminous quality of the wood without adding shine. We hope you love this piece as much as we do!

- The smooth and long fibers of linen help resist dirt and stains.
- It gets better with age and softens the more it is washed.
- Linen absorbs water quickly and dries quickly.
- It is durable and strong, lint-free and resistant to pilling.
- Linen can withstand high temperatures.
- It is inherently eco-friendly. Flax has a short growing cycle, is quickly renewable, and every part of the plant is used.
Tea Towels
- Machine wash in cool to warm water.
- Use a mild detergent, no bleach.
- Line dry or tumble dry on low heat; remove while still damp.

- We encourage you to use your tea towels daily and enjoy the patina that comes with age!
- Machine wash in cool to warm water.

- Hang to dry, or tumble dry on low heat and remove while slightly damp. There is very little to no shrinkage when washed this way.
- For natural or colored linen, it’s best not to hang in bright sunlight to avoid fading.
- Ironing is optional, and much easier to do while your apron is still damp. Use a hot iron with plenty of steam or a spray of water.
- Store in a dry, well-ventilated area. Well-cared for linen aprons will last for generations.
Stains
- Remove stains with soap and water while still fresh, before they dry.
- Pre-soaking in mild detergent is very effective in lifting stains.
- Never use chlorine bleach which may damage the fibers.
