These three plates came from the same piece of Japanese horse chestnut, full of rich streaks of brown and tan tones.
Each plate has a unique shape and carved texture, and all have been coated with a food grade “liquid glass” finish.
Plate #1 – Organic polygon shape, small dovetail patch, dimensions – 220 x 200 x 25 mm (8.75 x 8 x 1 “)
Plate # 2 – 11 sided polygon shape, large dovetail patch, dimensions – 210 x 210 x 20 (8.25 x 8.25 x .75″)
Plate # 3 – Organic polygon shape, dimensions – 215 x 200 x 20 (8.5 x 8 x .75”)
取扱いについて ー
The wood has been saturated with multiple coats of an extremely durable and water resistant finish commonly used here in Japan on wooden table wares. The finish, composed of silicon molecules in a solvent, soaks into the wood and bonds to the woods fibers at a molecular level producing a glass-like, hard coating that protects the wood from stains and water penetration. It does not leave a film on the wood surface, producing a very minimal finish that lets the woods grain and carved texture maintain a very natural appearance. The finish has been thoroughly tested and approved as a food-safe finish here in Japan, and is used on everything from soup bowls, cups, and plates to full size pieces of furniture.
