Chestnut (Japanese Chestnut) Display Stand / Flower Stand Not thick enough for use as a firewood splitting block, so it lacks strength. With bark, it has a substantial feel, while without bark, it is beautiful. Uses vary depending on the individual. 【Details】 ・No petroleum-based oils such as chainsaw oil, preservatives, or insecticides are used, so it can also be used as a cutting board. ・After completion, it is stored indoors, but for safety, it is sterilized in a high-temperature dryer for about 1 hour before shipping and re-coated with a safe oil wax (secret: edible) on both sides. ・A horizontal laser is used, so it is cut horizontally, but any warping during the drying process is adjusted with a plane and polishing. ・A smoke-heat drying system (baked smoking process) is used. ・It is made with original research to prevent cracking, so it is very resistant to cracking. Furthermore, it is safe because it does not use petroleum wax. ↓↓↓List of Items for Sale #Satoyama Regeneration Carpenter's Firewood Splitting Block ※Important Notes As a former carpenter and lumber dealer, I want to tell you: Although there are many firewood splitting blocks with beautiful cross-sections, they will definitely crack within a few days. There is nothing weaker than wood that has not been dried. It is also a cause of mold. Drying and cracking are essential and unavoidable in natural materials. Even so, by drying them properly, I make firewood splitting blocks with fewer cracks. It takes 2-3 years to be able to sell them, and more than half of them crack and are discarded (used as firewood). 【Please Read the Description】 Please be sure to read the description to prevent any problems after receiving the item. ・The size, shape, and crack condition are as shown in the photos. ・If you want a bark handle or paracord grip handle processing, please message me before purchasing. I will answer questions about firewood splitting blocks and wood carefully. 【Hardness】 Oak → Chestnut, Zelkova →→ Cherry 【Production Process】 All handmade (2-3 years) Felling → Leaf drying (1-2 years) → Ring cutting → Underwater drying → Boiling → Shaping → Smoke-heat drying → (Washing & Polishing) → Drying & Inspection (My firewood splitting blocks are measured for moisture content with a high-precision moisture meter) I borrow the smoke-heat drying kiln from a lumber store I know, so I cannot make a large quantity. It's like the process of making dried bonito flakes, or the image of the pillars of an old thatched-roof house becoming stronger from the smoke and heat of the irori (sunken hearth).
