Hatchet-Carved Medium Bowl No. 1
by Tomoya ARAI
The dramatic angular surface is achieved through a unique hatchet carving technique that showcases the beautiful depth of the natural light wood grain.
To ensure the longevity of your Tomoya Arai uncoated wood piece, please care for it by using only ash-water to settle the natural color. It is durable against water and does not require oil. When first starting to use, do not use any foods or liquids that tend to stain. With time the chestnut may stain, but in time it will blend in. Salad oil will also make them less noticeable when applied with your hand or soft cloth. Wash with lukewarm water only, dry well and avoid storing in direct sunlight.
