Cedar Fig Medium

As a plant often mentioned in biblical times, figs often appear in our lives now. They have been transformed and designed into a round wooden tray with a large carrying area that can be filled with abundant fruits. The leaf shape of this species is extremely beautiful and mysterious. The shapes of different varieties vary greatly in size. We can strongly feel the grace and wisdom of God in creating all things in nature, which is higher than what people can observe. Under these graces, we use awe to Make wooden plates out of the materials God has given us, savor life, and always appreciate God’s creation. //Wood characteristics-Japanese cypress // This material is real "cypress", and there are 6 species of cypress, including Taiwanese cypress and Japanese cypress. It has special cypress alcohol that can resist the growth of rot fungi. The smell is light and sweet, but not too strong and irritating. It can soothe your mood, as if you are drinking afternoon tea in the forest. There are many dark wood knots, which are the branches of the growing trees. Some of them have the same characteristics as solid wood. The knots of each wooden plate are distributed in different places, and the shapes are changeable, like a material full of vitality! Therefore, oiling without painting can better preserve the aroma and natural texture characteristics. Although the texture is slightly soft, if there is any damage, you can easily sand it and maintain it by yourself if you choose this painting method. //Product specifications// Size: approx. 25.5X20X2 cm Groove depth: 2.5cm //Coating: wood guard oil // 1. Maintenance before use: The surface of the tableware has been coated with natural wood oil to protect the wooden utensils. With this kind of coating, if it is slightly damaged, whether it is hardwood or softwood, it can be sanded down and restored easily. After the wood comes into contact with water for the first time, the fibers will be warped and slightly rough. You can sand it once with #180 sandpaper, and then it can be used normally. Wood care oil is not a paint film. After using it for a long time, it needs to be regularly oiled (food grade mineral oil) or natural beeswax for maintenance. The method is to use a clean cloth or kitchen towel to gently wipe the wood surface and wipe off excess oil. Leave it upright for 4-6 hours to allow the wood to fully absorb the oil. Regular maintenance: It is recommended to re-oil every 1-2 months to maintain moisture and prevent cracking. Or if the wood surface seems to be lacking oil, it can be maintained again. //Things to note when using wooden tableware// 1. When placing fried food, put a layer of oil-absorbing paper on it 2.
