OUR PROCESS
Crafting Wood: From Reclaimed Pallets to Refined Elegance
Our commitment to excellence begins with the careful preparation of the wood that forms the foundation of our handcrafted wooden trays. Every step of the process is a labor of love, ensuring that the final product reflects the beauty and character of the reclaimed wood.
1. Sourcing and Selection
The journey starts with the careful selection of reclaimed pallets. Each pallet carries a unique history, marked by wear and tear that only adds to its charm. We meticulously inspect and handpick pallets, choosing those with distinctive grain patterns, textures, and imperfections that tell a story.
2. Deconstruction and Salvaging
The process of transforming reclaimed pallets begins with their deconstruction. Our skilled craftsmen disassemble the pallets with precision, salvaging the wood panels that will serve as the canvas for our trays. This step requires patience and expertise to ensure that each panel is intact and free from nails or debris.
3. Cleaning and Refinement
Once the wood panels are salvaged, they undergo a thorough cleaning process. Dust, dirt, and any remnants of their former life are carefully removed. This step is crucial to reveal the true beauty of the wood beneath the layers of wear.
4. Restoring and Enhancing
After cleaning, the wood is planed to restore its smoothness and enhance its natural grain. It also prepares the wood for the next stages of crafting.
5. Design and Cutting
With the wood now planed, we begin the design phase. Each tray is thoughtfully planned to make the most of the wood's natural patterns. Precise measurements and cuts are made to shape the wood into the desired tray form. The artistry lies in utilizing the wood's imperfections in ways that complement the design.
6. Smoothing Imperfections
After the meticulous construction of our trays, we embark on the crucial sanding phase to elevate their quality and aesthetic appeal. Every curve, edge, and surface is expertly handled to create a seamless and flawless finish. Sanding not only enhances the tactile experience of our trays but also serves to eliminate any imperfections that may have arisen during the crafting process
7. The Perfect Wax Finish
The wood wax application is the finishing flourish in perfecting our trays, preserving their natural beauty with a protective embrace that enhances their unique grain patterns and the woods natural characteristics are accentuated creating a unique and captivating visual appeal.
Above all, the wood wax application is a signature of our unwavering commitment to quality and craftsmanship, making each tray a timeless work of artistry and elegance.
We believe that crafting elegance from reclaimed wood is a testament to our dedication to craftsmanship and sustainability. The journey from a discarded pallet to a refined wooden tray is a labor-intensive process that results in functional works of art that capture the essence of both nature and innovation.
