Found in every shearing shed across the country in the twentieth century, The Woolpress is an iconic piece of New Zealand history.

Based on the original Donalds Woolpress, Black Dog Furniture have created a classic rugged leaner that will take pride of place indoors or outdoors: The Iconic Woolpress Bar Leaner.

In no time at all, The Woolpress Bar Leaner has earned it's household name, becoming the very beloved piece of furniture it is today.

Care & Maintenance
Each Woolpress Leaner is pre-oiled for protection. Follow these simple steps to keep your furniture looking great...

✅  Prevention
Avoid putting your Woolpress Leaner on grass, dirt, or loose stones for long periods to prevent the wooden base from rotting.

✅  Oiling
Re-oil your furniture when it looks dry, ideally before summer and winter. More frequent oiling provides better protection.

✅  Cleaning
Clean with warm water and mild soap, but avoid soaking. Dry with a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

NOTE: Reactions such as cracks and movement in timber are a natural part of the weathering process and add to its rustic character without compromising any of its strength or durability.

Answer: Yes, your Woolpress Leaner is made from Macrocarpa and treated ply which are both completely durable outdoors.

However we advise you not to place your Leaner on top of grass or stones as this can cause the wooden base to rot.
