Wood / Species:. Cherry (Prunis Avium)
Cherry heartwood is pale pinkish-brown with a common green streak but often has an orangey tinge. It has an interesting and varied grain pattern, larger pieces are sort after since cherry tree’s are typically small.
Finish:
The wood after turning is sanded then sealed to add a layer of protection to bind the loose fibres and give a solid foundation. Abrasive pastes are used to de-nib the wood fibres and create a fine surface.
The piece is finished with a gloss finishing wax which is a combination of carnauba and microcrystalline wax. The wax is applied on the lathe and buffed to a high gloss quality finish.
The finish is a natural product and food safe, it's non-toxic and you can eat food that's contacted it’s surface.
Care:
This item is NOT dishwasher safe and CANNOT be used either in a microwave or conventional oven.
General cleaning advice is to wipe with a soft damp cloth and dry immediately. DO NOT submerge in water or use hot water to clean, this will remove the finish.
If the finish becomes dull after prolonged use, restore with a coat of wax (I recommend Hampshire Sheen Gloss Finishing Wax).
