埼玉県飯能市の吾野原木センターの競りで買ってきたものを工場まで輸送しました。樹種はさまざま。大山桜、山桜、鬼ぐるみ、エンジュ、楠、欅の6種です。
▼上から楠、桜、左の細長いのがエンジュ。
このあと、美しい杢目が出るよう目利きが木取りをし、何年もかけて自然乾燥を行ないます。さらに、どんなデザインの家具に向いているかを検討し、職人がひとつひとつていねいに手作り。時間のかかる作業ですが、本物の木の良さを引き出すために必要な工程です。それぞれの樹種の特徴を生かした家具が木楽のお店に並ぶのをお楽しみに!
We transported logs that our boss had bought at an auction called "Agano Genboku Center". He had bought 6 types of logs, which are "Oyama Sakura", "Sakura", "Oni Walnut",
"Japanese Pagoda Tree", "Camphor Tree", and "Zelkova".
We're going to have a connoisseur cut the wood so that the beautiful wood grain can be drawn out. We will then dry out the wood (which takes a few years) and consider what kind of design and furniture would fit the wood's style best. Lastly, the craftsman will carefully make the furniture one by one. It's a long process but it's really important to take the time and bring out the real beauty of the wood.
