For indoor use simple mineral oil with beeswax is great, inexpensive and easily available.
To re-oil wood furniture, do it in a shaded place or after the sun has set. Oil can dry quickly on the surface when exposed to heat. If you need to sand the furniture, use 150-grit sandpaper and sand in the direction of the grain. Apply the oil with a brush or cloth and let it sit for 15-20 minutes. After 15-20 minutes, wipe away any excess oil with a clean cloth. Let the furniture dry overnight or for at least 24 hours before using it. Re-oil the furniture once a month or when water droplets no longer bead up on the surface. You should also re-oil furniture that is kept indoors, but it is not necessary to do it as often.
Anywhere that is relatively dry, out of direct sunlight, and does not experience big swings in temperature or humidity. So basically inside a home away from big windows with big sunlight.

Yes, we do. please contact us to discuss your circumstance.
It is not recommended as the change in humidity and temperatures can cause the wood to shift and warp. Excessive UV rays and direct sunlight can also damage the wood. If you do keep it outside, keeping it oiled with mineral oil will help it last longer.
Cutting boards and items that have a heavy workload should be re-oiled every 2-4 weeks depending on usage. Other items can benefit from oiling as it prevents excess moisture absorption which can lead to the wood warping. If you notice the wood does not bead water up, it may be time to re-apply. We recommend mineral oil to care for you products.

Yes! We add a clear coat of shellac which acts as a fixative to bind your signatures in place. You can add more if you would like but make sure it is BEFORE the signatures go on. If you add more shellac after the signing, the additional shellac can liquify the initial layer and bring up all of the signatures off of the wood.
Yes! BUT, do not use anything alcohol based after signatures have been signed. Most finishes are water or oil based so most are safe, but alcohol based products can strip the marker from the wood finish.
Barrel Heads and Stave Mosaics – We recommend limiting the signatures to ~150. For anything more than 150 we recommend a ultra fine tipped marker (we only ship with a fine tip) or opting for 2x Guest Books. We can also offer discounts for multi Guest Book purchases for larger weddings.
Quarter Barrels – These can hold up to 50 signatures, depending on the tip used on the marker (fine, ultra fine, etc) and the size of the signatures.
