Oak Bakers Rack
Most people admire the sturdy, rustic look of oak baker’s racks. You may be surprised at the variety of styles available to choose from; and you’re sure to enjoy years of functional beauty with an oak baker’s rack.
Oak
The two popular types of oak are white oak and red oak. They both have a coarse texture and straight grain for an attractive, sturdy building material. Oak has been used for centuries to make all kinds of furniture. Today, people choose oak for its uniquely beautiful and rustic look, and for its hearty strength.
Styles
Oak baker’s racks are available in a number of paint colors and stain finishes to complement your furnishings. A finishing stain will penetrate and protect the oak’s surface while allowing the wood’s grain pattern to show, accenting the wood’s natural beauty. You’ll find baker’s racks with oak frames that include metal, glass, or wood shelving. There are oak baker’s racks that suit an empty wall in your kitchen or dining room, and others that are specially built to adorn a corner. Hutch-style oak baker’s racks have a particularly rustic look and provide sturdy, cabinet storage for pots and pans, recipe books, and pantry needs.
Caring for Your Oak Baker’s Rack
Dust your oak baker’s rack often with the dusting brush attachment on your vacuum cleaner; or use a soft clean cloth, moving in the same direction as the wood grain as much as possible. You’ll avoid scratching the surface of your oak baker’s rack by lifting objects up and away from the surface. Never slide objects around on quality wooden furniture. Use only polish formulas that are compatible with the oak’s finish, and then use it only a few times a year, as furniture polish will build up over time.
Add a perfect finishing touch to your kitchen or dining room with the sturdy, rustic look of an oak baker’s rack. |
