This is my kitchen table. It has now been cleaned, then oiled, and has dried and is ready for use again. The table is white oiled, which means that it has white pigment in the oil.
The table is SKAGEN from Bolia. I’ve had it since the summer of 2009, shortly before I moved to my present flat. Solid, white-oiled oak. Monica (my then neighbor and friend) bought the same table before I did. She also bought the extensions for it. The extensions – 50 cms – only come in 2-pack. I later bought one of them from her and use it at the window-end of the table.
I love this table. It is simple and utilitarian. And I much prefer the white-oiled oak to the darker ones.
Table looks all new when this is done. I’ve postponed it for a long time as the downside of doing it that you cannot use the table for 24 hours after oiling it. The treatment is necessary to do regularly to prevent the wood from drying out.
Remains to do the same to the sofa-table in the livingroom.
