Organizing the workshop of my woodworker father. Approximately 20cm wide, 11.5cm long. The shape is different from the one previously listed. Yakusugi cedar endures for over a thousand years in harsh natural conditions, making tremendous efforts. It grows in soil with very few nutrients, resulting in extremely narrow annual rings, and it stores oil to withstand long-term decay. This oil is what gives the work its dark color. I hope to share in the longevity of Yakusugi. I hope you can use it in various ways with your ideas. Please care for it with a soft cotton or silk cloth. Yakusugi is a cedar that grows on Yakushima Island, a granite island with few nutrients. Its growth is slow, and its grain is tight. It has a high resin content and is resistant to decay due to the high rainfall and humidity. Therefore, it is said to have a long lifespan. It grows naturally in mountainous areas above 500m in altitude, and those with a lifespan of 1000 years or more are called Yakusugi. Currently, new logging is prohibited. It is a rare and auspicious wood, also said to ward off bad luck. It is coated with an impregnation urethane coating, so it is safe even if you sweat on it. This coating meets the standards of the Food Sanitation Law. The name of the coating is "Kikodame Ace." Coasters, individual plates, trays, stands Type... Trays Material... Wood Material... Wooden
