The comfort of solid wood

This tray has a cute wreath shape expressed in gentle curves. When you touch it, you can feel the warmth of the wood from your palm. People tend to think that solid wood items are difficult to maintain, but that's actually not the case. If it's just crumbs from bread or sweets, just brush it off, but if you're concerned about dirt, just wipe it with a tightly wrung out cloth or rinse it off with water. If it starts to feel dry, you can treat it with oil to give it a nice shine and bring out the wood grain. The more you use it carefully, the more its flavor will change over time. I would be happy if you could feel the joy of growing your own.

Feeling safe when touching wood

Large size, approximately 30cm. When I tried it, I got one teapot and five soba chokos. It seems like it would be enough to accommodate 3 to 4 guests. As a single-person meal, it would also be great to serve rice, miso soup, and two or three small bowls or plates with side dishes. It's also great for set menus like ``Toast & Yogurt'' and ``Bucket Sandwich & Soup.'' The appeal of wooden utensils is that they look stylish even when just serving small snacks. This is an item that will make your time thinking about what to put on it more fun today.

Recommended maintenance by the artist	・If you are concerned about dirt, please wash it with water. For oil stains, wash with a soft sponge using a neutral detergent. Wipe off the water after washing. ・Solid wood may warp due to sudden temperature changes or dry conditions. Placing the wood with the back side up will allow the wood to breathe, making it less likely to warp.
