This gives it a moderate sheen, allowing you to enjoy the natural feel and aroma of the wood. ・The surface is cut repeatedly while checking to ensure there are no irregularities. ・To bring out the wood grain, we have deliberately not applied an oil finish. ・By alternating the sanding direction vertically and horizontally, the sanding marks are made less noticeable. ★ Maritima A rosewood native to Africa, mainly Madagascar.
