Chestnut (Mountain Chestnut) Stand, Flower Stand NO. 807, Batoning, Flower Stand, Rhinoceros Beetle, For Insects

Chestnut (Mountain Chestnut) - Thickness varies. Not suitable for insect habitats or as a chopping block due to insufficient thickness and strength.
The bark version has a substantial feel, while the bark-free version is beautiful. The intended use varies from person to person.

[Our Commitment]
- Free from petroleum-based oils such as chainsaw oil, preservatives, and insect repellents, making it safe for use as a cutting board.
- Products are stored indoors after completion. As a precaution, before shipping, they undergo approximately 1 hour of high-temperature drying for insect control, and a safe oil wax (secretly edible) is reapplied to both sides.
- We use a horizontal laser for perfectly level cuts. Any warping during the drying process is adjusted through planing and polishing.
- We have introduced a smoking and heat drying system (smoked processing).
- We have conducted independent research to prevent cracking, making our products highly resistant to splitting. Furthermore, they are safe as they do not use petroleum-based waxes.

※Important Notice
As a former carpenter and lumber dealer, I must inform you that many chopping blocks with beautiful cross-sections will crack within days.
Unseasoned wood has the weakest strength and is a cause of mold.
Drying and cracking are inevitable with natural materials. However, we strive to create chopping blocks with minimal cracking through careful drying. It takes 2-3 years to bring a product to market, with over half cracking and being discarded (used as firewood).
[Please Read Carefully]
To prevent issues after delivery, please read the description thoroughly.
- Size, shape, and cracking status are as shown in the photos.
- If you desire bark handles or paracord grips, please message us before purchasing.
We will answer your questions about chopping blocks and wood with care.

[Production Process]
All handmade (2-3 years)
Fallen tree → Leaf drying (1-2 years) → Round cutting → Water drying → Boiling → Shaping → Smoking and heat drying → (Washing & Polishing) → Drying & Inspection (Our chopping blocks are measured for moisture content with a high-precision moisture meter).
We borrow a smoking and heat drying kiln from a lumber store acquaintance, so we cannot produce in large quantities. It's similar to the process of making katsuobushi (dried bonito flakes) or how the smoke and heat from a hearth in old thatched-roof houses strengthened the pillars.
