A finish of Osmo hardwax oil, and the arrow joint is cut so it fits any other tile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePre-order\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMade to order in our Wiltshire workshop and posted from 1 December, in time for Christmas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Oak \u0026 Sprout","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55699683836243,"sku":"SP-TILE-pool","price":17.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0956\/3363\/7715\/files\/wooden-unicorn-tile-the-pool-story-path.jpg?v=1793581540","url":"https:\/\/oakandsprout.live\/products\/the-story-path-tile-the-pool","provider":"Oak \u0026 Sprout","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
