Wind's Wood Bowl - Unpolished Wavy 1

Hand-carved wave-shaped wooden bowl made from locally sourced unpolished zelkova wood. This piece has been lacquered using a traditional eco-friendly heat curing technique, ottchil, that's been used for thousand of years. This technique applies approximately 30 coats of naturally heated lacquer, derived from the sap of rhus trees, and hardens it.

This bowl is safe to use for hot and cold food, can be washed with detergent and it's safe to put water in it for a long time.
