Mealtime Treen
A selection of wooden items to eat and drink from and with. Made to both be functional for many years through careful timber selection and design, yet also beautiful enough to be admired on view for all to see. All my items are turned on a pole lathe giving a unique tool finish to each item. All diameters are quoted on each item. How to look after your kitchenware is included at the bottom of the page.
Bowls – These come in three sizes: small, medium or large. Small is perfect for condiments at the table such as salt or chopped parsley. Medium is sized 6-7″ and is ideal for breakfast or soup. Large is designed for large meals.
Plates – These come is two sizes: medium or large. Medium is perfect for cakes or crumpet, 5″-7″ in diameter. Large is 8″+ in size and is suitable for eating a meal from.
Spoons – Each spoon is individual, but has been designed with moving food from bowl to mouth in mind.
Cups n Mugs – At present each cup or mug is individual, but I am working on creating designs for each of these related to how they will be used.
Usage Comments
Unless otherwise stated on the product notes, it will have been treated with an appropriate finish. If it is a kitchen item, it will appreciate a bit of special care over its life as follows:
- Try to wash it as soon as possible after use, &avoid soaking for a long period of time.
- Please don’t put it in dishwashers or microwaves.
- If finished with urushi, avoid prolonged periods of sunlight. Avoid using with metal utensils or metal scouring pads.
If you wish to re-treat your kitchenware, ensure the item is fully dry and then I recommend using Treatex hardwax Oil (sold in 30ml bottles, ideal for 2 or 3 items of treen). Wipe on using a paper towel, leave for 5minutes, then wipe off excess using a clean towel. Leave foe a week in a warm room before use so the oil fully cures.
If you see wear in an urushi finish, please contact me and I can provide a re-lacquering service.
