Description
Black, non-marking finish.
A gorgeous display bowl that showcases hand carved teak root. A burnt charcoal finish adds intrigue. Use it as a table centre piece, or to showcase small decorative items.
Images are for illustration purposes only, as the nature of the materials and craftsmanship ensure that no two pieces are exactly alike.
A burnt charcoal finish showcases the natural textures. This finish is not achieved by using a coloring agent such as a paint or a stain. It is actually a very old Japanese technique called “Shou Sugi Ban” which roughly translates as “Burn The Cedar.”
These reclaimed timbers are specially treated, kiln dried, and then sanded before the initial charring process. Once charred, it is then re-sanded before charring the surface once more. This process is repeated until the furniture maker is satisfied that the piece is sufficiently rich in texture, tone and pattern. It is then protected with a natural oil before adding a clear top coat to further protect the finish, and to minimise the possibility of stains.
Depending on the dimensions of the furniture piece, a skilled carpenter may only be able to produce one to three pieces each day.

Additional information
This product is individually hand made using natural materials ensuring each piece is distinctively different and possesses unique characteristics. Variations or imperfections in colour, design, size and finish may occur from piece to piece, and are not considered faults, rather they attest to the individual and unique qualities of natural products and their hand made nature. Cracking, splitting, natural defects or leaching of natural oils may be present in natural timbers and can cause unavoidable stains on light fabrics that come in contact with them.
