The Pierre Cayron business was created in 1980 :
« It’s because I’m a cabinet-maker and because I’ve chosen, cut and worked on pieces of wood myself which later enabled me to make real furniture, that I can speak clearly to you about what our profession means to us here.»
Working with wood
-
Gathering :
Rigorous selection of the tree in its natural environment. This is cut during the autumn the moment at which the sap descends, thus avoiding parasites.
- Maturity of wood :
The trees are stocked in the open air for 1 year before being cut into planks.
we let the wood mature in order that it becomes more supple, more tender and less nervous. -
Sawing :
Every tree is sawed individually. The sawyer makes sure that the tree is cut in the direction of the grain of the wood (wood fibre).This prevents the planks from warping.
-
Drying :
1st drying of the planks in the open air for 3 months, then artificial kilning in order to obtain a 10% wood hygrometry. Stability of the components : timber does not warp.
Know-how :
-
Each plank is chosen depending on each component of the furniture for better assembly: the furniture does not warp with time
-
At each stage of manufacture the cabinet-maker ensures that the article is worked on in the direction of the grain of the wood
the piece of timber remains stable, without deformation: ideal procedure
- Each component of the furniture is assembled by a cabinet-maker who at the same time ensures the overall quality of the furniture the rules of the art are respected and each item of furniture is unique and authentic
- The finish of the item of furniture is carried out by hand using traditional products Taking into account the respect of the environment
- the furniture has a natural aspect, depth of veining of the wood and improvement of the item over time.
Care
- With a cloth apply some natural bees wax to the surface, in the direction of the grain of the wood. Leave to dry for 10 minutes and polish with the help of a cotton or woollen cloth. Avoid any silicone based product.
