Re: Friso Furniture - Wooden Teaware

I love your trays. I hope you continue to make pieces without the indented tea pot area. I am left-handed and it keeps those ones off-limits. Definitely considering one of the others though Hi. Duly noted - these few trays were indeed made with right-handed brewing in mind. Sorry about that. That s...

Re: What HeiCha are you drinking

I've been sampling a lot of different teas over the last 6 months, and unfortunately hit a lot of duds along the way. Three really solid and great offerings I can recommend from all of that sampling though were the liu bao from Teas We Like. I won't name names here, but almost all the western facin...

Re: Friso Furniture - Wooden Teaware

Many new items in stock ! [1/2] Some new designs featuring knots, natural defects and live edges. I really like the idea of using natural knots and holes for water drainage on my tea tables. I've also been playing with different species of wood, to bring color contrasts and a modern touch to more tr...

Re: Friso Furniture - Wooden Teaware

LeoFox I have made scoops, but for friends and myself :D I don't plan to actually produce scoops for my page. I'm more of a furniture maker than a sculptor / carver. Also, I believe a fellow woodworker is already selling handmade tea scoops online. But who knows, maybe in the future! For now I'm ke...

Re: Friso Furniture - Wooden Teaware

debunix As with any wooden furniture, maintenance may be needed at some point down the road. I've been testing my products for six months now, and the finish is still looking good, but I expect they will need refinishing in the two to five years window. There are two "families" of wood finishes : p...

Re: Friso Furniture - Wooden Teaware

Thank you so much for all the kind comments and pretty pictures!

I'm busy with a custom order for a local restaurant right now, but I have a couple of live edge projects with water drainage coming up. Can't wait to get it done!

Friso Furniture - Wooden Teaware

As many others, the pandemic got me into artisanship and I am now a woodworker by trade. It was only a matter of time, then, before this would happen : I n...

Re: What HeiCha are you drinking

@wave code I did taste a bit of oxidation, not sure about fermentation though. Overall it reminded me of a green tea ; it had a green, nutty and roasted edge that I wouldn't expect from a raw heicha. I'm putting some of it aside to see how it will develop, but I don't have much hope ; it probably wa...
