The Process

Ivory wood, soft yet durable is seasoned for close to 3 months before it makes itself onto the handmade lathe machine.  Here the wood is carved and Smoothened by using Chisels and Sandpaper for obtaining a desired shape and texture. While the wood still rotates on the lathe and remains hot it is lacquered with the natural Organic colored sticks prepared from vegetable dyes.

The skillful Lacquerware craft attracts and appeals to both adults and children alike for its vibrant color, smooth texture, non-toxicity, and Eco-friendliness.
