Hinoki Bowl

Hinoki bowl by wood turner Nakaya Yoshitaka. Nakaya studied furniture making for over 10 years in Takayama before moving to Mt. Fuji and deciding to focus on working exclusively with raw wood as a wood turner. Manipulating this ‘green’ wood that develops a second life upon reaching his hands is like a never ending study of the forest around him. He highlights a variety of woods, sourced from trees that are too deformed for industry distribution, or windfall trees in his area. Additional Information Material: Hinoki Size: Small. Each piece is unique but stack nicely. Care: **For the first few uses please do not use with hot liquid foods. Never use in the dishwasher to prevent cracking and warping** Use as salad bowls for the first couple months. The oils go well on the wood surface. Once the surface gets assimilated and tougher you can use for soups and the like. Enjoy using and taking care of this fine crafted item.
