MABEF easels are treated with raw linseed oil which represents
the most natural method to protect the wood surface without drastically changing
its natural features.
The wood is impregnated in its internal fibres emphasising all the sensations
that only a natural material can give.
To always keep its natural colour in the original wooden grains and to
moisturise the wood, preserving it from cracking, we suggest to apply raw
linseed oil with a soft cloth for the natural finishings.
For lacquered finishings we suggest to use products made with bee wax, to be
applied with a soft cloth.
As we are dealing with live materials, solid beech wood is subjected to
shrinkage or expansion owing to changes in heat and/or in dampness which can
cause a slight instability of the product or a light friction of the sliding
parts.
To remove these inconveniences, it is suggested to tighten or to unloose the
screws or the nuts according to the problem.
Mabef reserves the right to modify the characteristics of its products without
notice.

History
MABEF is a company born in 1948. Its, therefore, almost 60 years that MABEF
produces and sells wooden articles for artists. This long permanence in the
market is due to the fairness that has always characterized MABEFs offer, made
up of valid products that answer, at their best, to needs of solidity,
functionality and duration.
In addition, the brand loyalty of consumers during the time, made a significant
contribution to the success of Mabef.
Anybody who was satisfied with a MABEF product, will be buying again a MABEF
product!
Raw material
The material used is solid Beachwood coming from certified geographical areas
and from woods where reforestation is under control of local regulations and
guaranteed by forestry commission (we are on the way to obtain certification).
In this way, the wood used is constantly replaced.
The Beachwood is extremely resistant and long-lasting and will accompany us
throughout our life and over. Its beauty improves with the passing of time.
It is 100% recyclable and ecological. All the wooden scraps, shavings and saw
dust are collected, broken up and through a very elaborate process, transformed
in pellets, an ecological fuel, for heating all the factories and offices,
which, while burning, releases carbon dioxide in quantities equal to those
previously absorbed by the living plant.
Performance
MABEF easels dont have just to work, but they must work really well.
Every MABEF product is designed to offer the best performance. Our easels are
not over technological and sophisticated: simply they do well their work. Not by
chance who designs MABEF products, has always in mind the product that would
recommend to himself or to his best friend.
Sturdiness and reliability
MABEF easels know their destiny since their birth: they must be strong, solid,
reliable and long-lasting. Its thanks to the respect of these values that MABEF
can afford to continue to produce and sell easels for more than 50 years.
Simple use
Dont expect complicated mechanism from MABEF easels. All is studied to get the
simplest and fastest working method.
Also, anyone, who is not so experienced in handling the easels, can find in
MABEF, a product easy to work with. All with the guarantee to always have the
best performance.
Competence
MABEF produces and sells only easels and accessories for artists since its birth
in 1948, without wasting its manufacturing energy in other fields.
Why this? Because MABEF wanted to specialize and concentrate its energies to do,
at the best, just what knows to do. Thats why the MABEF products are, since the
beginning, just the following:
easels, sketch box easels, palettes, sculpture trestles, wooden boxes and print
racks.
