◆About materials
Palestine is the origin of olives, and the history of their cultivation dates back to BC (there are also ancient trees that are thousands of years old). Every autumn there is an olive harvest, after which the tree is pruned for the health of the tree. The pruned branches and trunks are handed over to lumber contractors and reborn into various crafts and daily necessities.
Since it is a valuable material, small materials are also processed in this way and used as fuel for winter.
◆About the creator "Holy Land Handicrafts Cooperatives Society"
It is the oldest member of the World Fair Trade Federation (WFTO) in the Middle East, established to protect the traditional crafts and artisans of the region from the global economy. We work hand in hand with a small workshop and an office that serves as a window to overseas to ensure the livelihood of approximately 2,000 people.
I buy products by communicating directly with Amira in the office.
◆ Situation in Palestine
Palestine is a place with a deep history, warm people, and once you visit, you will want to go back to it.
(Stay: https://note.com/kakehashi_pale/m/m70c26db08307)
I believe that connecting with people who continue to preserve their traditional jobs and activities even under occupation through fair trade and the transcendence of cultures across borders will lead to peace at the grassroots.

Daily handling
*Do not leave it in water for too long, and dry it well in a well-ventilated place after cleaning.
*Dishwashers, microwave ovens, ovens, and other appliances with rapid temperature changes are not permitted.
*Due to natural materials, they may be damaged by strong synthetic detergents or hard sponges.
* Do not apply excessive force.
*Since it is unpainted, dark-colored foods and oily dishes may cause color transfer to wood and oily stains.
◆Occasional care
*When the surface becomes fluffy, apply edible oil to restore the wood luster.
*If it is chipped or scratched, polish it with fine-grained sandpaper (sandpaper) such as #300~402 and then apply oil.
Linseed oil and walnut oil are quick-drying. If it becomes sticky, let it dry for a while.
◆Enjoy aging
Olive trees are resistant to mold and are difficult for bacteria to grow.
Wood may breathe and shrink, or crack over time.
Please enjoy it as a characteristic of the tree.
I hope you can use it for a long time.
