Question: What is a Knot?
Answer: A knot is where a limb or branch grew out from the main trunk of the tree. Knots can take on all shapes and sizes depending on the size and shape of the limb or branch. The image below has a knot above the letter "i" and a knot on the front side of the stool. Damhorst Toys uses only furniture grade high quality 100% wood to create each of our hand crafted items. Because wood is a natural product, variations of wood grain, color, knots or texture may be experienced. Damhorst Toys cannot be responsible for these variations, and will not consider them a defect.
Question: What is the "No Knots" option?
Answer: A "No Knots" option insures that no knots are present on the surface or top of the item being purchased. This option does not exclude a knot being present on the side of an item. Because additional labor is incurred to find and cut a piece of wood without knots on the surface, an additional charge is added to the price of the item.
