A selection of wooden items that are available at discounted prices. These have either been made either in the far distant past, perhaps have a small flaw (which doesn’t affect longevity or functionality, but which irritates me), or are prototypes that will never reach the next stage. Each item explains why it is offered at a discounted price.

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.

No items currently available at a discounted price.

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 excessive wear in an urushi finish, please contact me and I can provide a re-lacquering service.
