This was made from a chestnut tree from my organic home garden. Instead of using dried lumber sold at home centers or lumberyards, I cut it from a living tree and crafted it entirely by hand, using a green woodworking method that doesn't involve power tools. I cut the living wood with a saw and carved it out using only an axe, chisel, and knife. The finish is sanded and coated with persimmon tannin three times. Since it's not urethane-coated, you can feel the texture of the wood directly. For aftercare, if you feel it's drying out, applying commercially available linseed oil, perilla oil, or olive oil will allow the oil to soak in and gradually improve the texture. If the surface becomes rough, sanding it with fine-grit sandpaper (400 grit or higher) will restore its smooth condition. If cracks appear, it's best to apply beeswax. Since the living wood breathes, it expands and contracts depending on the temperature and humidity. Beeswax will naturally seep out when the wood tries to return to its original state. Do not use repair glue sold at home centers, as it prevents the wood from returning to its original state, which can worsen the cracks. After use, gently wash it with a sponge, wipe off the water, and dry it in the shade. (Note) Dishwashers are not allowed. How about using it as interior decor for cafes, general stores, or your room?
