Chestnut (Japanese Chestnut) Display Stand / Flower Stand Not thick enough for use as a firewood splitting block, so it lacks strength. With bark, it has a substantial feel, while without bark, it is beautiful. Uses vary depending on the individual. 【Details】 ・No petroleum-based oils such as chainsaw oil, preservatives, or insecticides are used, so it can also be used as a cutting board. ・After completion, it is stored indoors, but for safety, it is sterilized in a high-temperature dryer for about 1 hour before shipping, and safe oil wax (secret: edible) is reapplied to both sides. ・A horizontal laser is used, so it is cut horizontally, but warping during the drying process is adjusted with a plane and polishing. ・A smoke-heat drying system (baked smoking process) is used. ・It is made with original research to prevent cracking, so it is very resistant to cracking. Furthermore, it is safe because no petroleum wax is used. ↓↓↓ Listing List #Satoyama Regeneration Construction Company's Firewood Splitting Block ※Important As a former carpenter and lumber dealer, I will tell you: Many firewood splitting blocks have beautiful cross-sections, but they will definitely crack within a few days. There is nothing weaker than wood that is not dried. It is also a cause of mold. Drying and cracking are essential and unavoidable in natural materials. Even so, by drying them properly, we create firewood splitting blocks with fewer cracks. It takes 2-3 years to be able to list them, and more than half are discarded (as firewood) due to cracking. 【Please Read the Description】 Please be sure to read the description to prevent trouble after receiving the item. ・The size, shape, and crack condition are as shown in the photos. ・If you want a bark handle or paracord grip handle processing, please message me before purchasing. I will answer questions about firewood splitting blocks and wood carefully. 【Hardness】 Oak → Chestnut, Zelkova →→ Cherry 【Production Process】 All handmade (2-3 years) Felling → Leaf drying (1-2 years) → Ring cutting → Underwater drying → Boiling → Shaping → Smoke-heat drying → (Washing & Polishing) → Drying & Inspection (My firewood splitting blocks are measured for moisture content with a high-precision moisture meter) Because I am borrowing the smoke-heat drying kiln from a lumber store I know, I cannot produce them in large quantities. It's like the process of making dried bonito flakes, or the smoke and heat from the irori (sunken hearth) in old thatched-roof houses increasing the strength of the pillars.
