This model is a variation of our existing product, the natural walnut wood tabletop 'DOME.' While normally shipped finished with a urethane clear coat, this version comes with a set of natural oil and an unfinished tabletop, allowing users to apply the oil and finish it themselves.

As there is no coating layer like urethane, it will age over time with daily use, and can be "grown" into one's own tool through repeated maintenance.

Proposing the "Growth" of Your Desk

PREDUCTS' natural wood tabletops, including DOME, are typically finished by creating a thin protective layer on the surface with urethane coating. This is an excellent finish for protecting the surface from water, scratches, and dirt while enhancing the material's texture, and is adopted by many furniture manufacturers.

In contrast, the 'DOME & Oil Kit' released this time is finished by applying natural oil instead of urethane. Since oil penetrates the wood, it does not form a "layer" and is more susceptible to external influences. In terms of water and stain resistance, it does not match urethane.

Despite this, the 'DOME & Oil Kit' is being offered because oil finishing allows the wood's natural grain to show through, enabling users to fully enjoy the wood's original texture, and to experience the appeal of the desk "growing into their own" as they use it over time.

Left: DOME & Oil Kit / Right: Standard DOME. The DOME & Oil Kit has a less glossy finish and allows you to feel the texture of raw wood.

While the standard DOME is a "completed" product upon arrival, the DOME & Oil Kit is "material." If urethane expresses "premium feel," oil expresses "authenticity," allowing the wood grain, joints, and knots to be subtly felt. And as it supports your daily work, it will be finished into "your own tool."

Applying Oil Yourself

The DOME & Oil Kit is a set that includes an unfinished tabletop in its "raw state" without surface treatment, and a complete set of tools for applying the oil, the "Oil Kit."

Part of the Oil Kit

Since the tabletop does not have oil applied upon arrival, you will finish it yourself. Instructions for applying the oil are provided in the enclosed manual and videos. During use, regular maintenance involving oil application will be necessary.

With an oil-finished tabletop, the wood's natural surface is exposed, making it easy to touch up minor scratches and marks. Dents can be blended using crayons or putty, similar to regular wood, and light dirt or shallow scratches may be removed by lightly sanding and reapplying oil.

While it may not be as durable as urethane, it offers the advantage of being repairable through maintenance. This model is actually beneficial for those who "cherish their tools."
