-----------------------------------------------

I only work with local wood that I fell or collect and transport myself. The trees worked are mainly trees that have fallen to the ground due to winds or intended to be felled and not the result of overexploitation.

Each piece is unique. As a wood turner, I can guarantee the regularity of the shapes and dimensions announced (very slight variations may be observed), but from one piece to another, the grain of the wood will offer a unique pattern. Color may also vary, especially on walnut pieces.

/!\ Wooden objects do not tolerate the sun's rays, large temperature variations and excess humidity. For optimal lifespan, store your well-dried dishes flat in a cupboard.

Let's talk little, let's talk wood (FAQ)
--------------------------------------------------

~Is your wood treated?

The wood that I transform is guaranteed to be untreated and can therefore be suitable for any food use. All the objects I create are simply finished with fine sanding, to guarantee a smooth and pleasant texture to the touch, as well as oiling with grapeseed oil which gives them protection and shine.


~How to maintain a wooden object?

To wash your plate, simply use a little lukewarm water, your usual dishwashing liquid if necessary, rinse then leave to dry in the open air in a place where water does not stagnate. Once completely dry, store your plate flat.
Wood is naturally resistant but above all don't forget that it is a living material: so don't hesitate to nourish your wood from time to time. For these plates, a little splash of cooking oil of your choice when its appearance tarnishes to maintain the shiny appearance, and that's it!


~The advantages of wood?

Wood is a living material, very resistant. Thus, a well-maintained wooden object to last you a lifetime. It is an ecological alternative, guaranteed without chemicals and 100% artisanal.


~Precautions to take?

The enemies of wood are excess heat and excess humidity. I therefore recommend that you avoid the dishwasher, microwave and other similar uses, as well as letting your wooden objects soak in water.


~What steps will my wooden object go through to go from tree to object?

Your objects will all have gone through a long process and are the result of many hours of work before arriving at your home. Here is an overview:
I cut down the tree or collect it from the ground.
I cut it up, then take it to the sawmill where it will be cut into a tray.
The wood will then have to dry for a minimum of one year (it takes 1 year of drying for 1cm of thickness, so be patient).
Once my wood is dry, the tray finds its place in my workshop where I trace my templates using a compass.
Then I move on to sawing to roughly cut out my shape.
Now that my templates are ready, I let them dry for an additional month so that they maintain their shape as best as possible.
And it is only after all these steps that my skills as a wood turner come into play: I turn the piece, profile it and hollow it out, turn after turn...
I will then sand my piece the first time with grit 80, 120 then 180 and finally 240.
I dip my piece in water to bring out the rough edges.
Once dry, it's off again: sanding with 240 grit.
Then I dip my piece in water again.
I'm waiting for it to dry to finally finish my sanding with 320 grit, the one that guarantees a soft and smooth touch.
Finally, I brand with the “Tour après Tour” logo to sign my work.
And I oil my piece with grapeseed oil for a nice shiny finish.
Then, package carefully, the object goes to your home to offer you all my know-how.
Now that you know his story, it's your turn to continue it.

Each turn,
Kind regards,
Round after round.
