Timber & Leather Conditioning Butter
Restore • Protect • Preserve
Crafted with a blend of local tallow and pure beeswax, our Conditioning Butter is a deeply penetrative treatment designed to breathe life back into natural materials. Unlike synthetic aerosol sprays that sit on the surface, this waterless butter sinks into the grain of timber and the pores of leather to replenish lost moisture and provide a long-lasting, protective barrier against the elements.
The Botanical Scent Profile:
-
Lemon Peel: Provides a crisp, clean aroma and natural degreasing properties.
-
Fresh Rosemary: A traditional botanical preservative with a grounding, herbal scent that lingers beautifully on natural materials.
How to Use & Primary Applications
For the Kitchen (Food-Safe):
-
Usage: Apply a small amount to a lint-free cloth and rub into the grain of dry timber. Let it sit for 15 minutes, then buff away any excess.
-
Best for: Wooden chopping boards, grazing platters, salad servers, and rolling pins. Regular use prevents timber from drying out, cracking, or absorbing food odours.
For Leather Goods:
-
Usage: Ensure leather is clean and dry. Massage a thin layer of butter into the leather in circular motions. The oils will darken the leather slightly as they hydrate (always test a small inconspicuous area first).
-
Best for: Leather boots, belts, saddlery, handbags, and heritage leather furniture. It softens stiff leather and adds a subtle, healthy lustre.
For Around the Home:
-
Usage: Use to "revive" tired-looking timber furniture, windowsills, or even indoor plant leaves (sparingly) for a natural shine.
Care & Longevity
-
Concentrated Formula: A 90g tin is equivalent to several bottles of liquid conditioner. A very thin layer is all you need for professional-grade protection.
-
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Because this is a natural product, the consistency may soften in heat or firm up in the New England winter—simply warm a small amount between your fingers to apply.
