FINISHES

Coconut oil and beeswax. This finish protects, waterproofs and nourishes the wood. Completely food-safe, it does not crack or rust, maintaining a long-lasting finish.

Yakisugi is an ancient Japanese technique used to preserve wood. It is burned, brushed to remove carbon and burned again. Finally, it is hydrated with oil. Burning gives it a very special and unique color and appearance.

CAREFUL

Apply mineral oil or any other oil suitable for food use.

The pieces require minimal maintenance if they are to be kept in top condition. A little oil is sufficient after a few years. If the pieces are used as kitchen utensils, care and maintenance should be more frequent.

Apply at night and dry the excess in the morning with a cloth.

DO NOT USE vegetable or olive oils , as they can become rancid, imparting an unpleasant odor and flavor to the items served in your room.

DO NOT CLEAN in dishwasher and avoid immersing in water

Cleaning

Wipe with a damp cloth and soap. If you want to keep your piece looking as good as possible, be sure to protect it from knocks, scrapes and scratches and avoid exposure to liquids and heat.

If you use your item for food, be aware that some can cause stains, for example beetroot. While these stains will slowly fade or at least blend in over time, if you want to avoid this, it is best to avoid serving those foods that can stain too much.

Sunlight and water

Light can fade or darken the color of some woods over time. This cannot be prevented or reversed, but avoiding exposure to bright light will slow down the process.

Contact with water can cause the piece to lose some of its surface shine. If this happens, it's time to apply a coat of Tung oil.

How lazy to have to apply oil

Don't worry, it's not a big deal if you don't apply it. Most likely, the piece will lose its shine over time, but that's all. If you want to keep it intact like the first day, you'll have to apply oil, otherwise, no. The piece will look just as nice but with less shine.
