Thank you for your comment. I don't know, I am not a good chemist. Please ask someone who is familiar with chemistry.

はい、無油の漆です。

謝謝您一再見。

Very good question. What happens when you drill a hole in the bamboo while it is still straight and then bend it? You can see by bending the straw. It can be bent, but the hole is crushed.

自分も自己流なので正しいかわかりませんが、アサリの向きに合わせて直角になるようにしています。

こんにちは。フォローしていただきありがとうございます。 昔、漆を使い始めた頃、私もとてもひどいかぶれを起こしたことがあります。 そのかぶれは2年間続きましたが、自然とあまりかぶれなくなりました。特別な治療も薬も使いませんでした。 とても辛いですが、かぶれなくなるまで耐えるしか方法はありません。頑張ってください！

こちらこそ。コメントありがとうございます。

I let the bamboo dry for a couple of years before making chopsticks and spoons. This is because the lacquer needs to dry sufficiently to finish it. If you are not going to lacquer it, there is no need to dry it. Some people make chopsticks from freshly cut bamboo. It is called green bamboo chopsticks. Wishing you good work.

Yes, I made it myself out of an empty can.

It's a polishing powder called Tonoko. Make fine scratches on the surface to prevent the lacquer from peeling off.

Any cloth can be used as long as it is not fluffy.

You can purchase that at pinkoi. But I'm sorry, but they're out of stock. jp.pinkoi.com/store/fushimiurushi

The purpose of applying multiple coats of lacquer, in my personal opinion, is to beautify the finish and add value. Three coats of lacquer are enough to give it the strength to be used. Lacquer has been used as an adhesive since ancient times. You know "kintsugi," the art of repairing pottery. Therefore, there is no concern about peeling off if the paint is applied correctly.

@@fushimiurushikobo wow is beautifull, you know what tipe of lacquer use?

Thank you for watching my video so intently. Actually, they are simmered, heated and cooled so that they don't lose shape in the future. The first thing to do is to simmer it to soften the fibers so they won't break. Next, roast it to shrink the fibers and bend them. Finally, cool the shrunken fibers with cold water to prevent them from returning to their original shape.

Where do u live? That trees have in china, vietnam, thailand, myanmar, taiwan,...
