This wooden kitchenware from teak root is made with simple hand tools.. first the big roots are sawn into the minimum size for processing a specific product. Depending on the type of product (like a bowl or spoon) the wood is carved out by hand with the traditional chisel + hammer. The smoothen and even the wood it is sanded by a simple sanding machine and if necessary touched up with sanding paper by hand. The final product is oiled by hand with a cloth. Sometimes the rough edges are deliberately unfinished to show the original material.
