Japanese Tochi 105 x 55 x 45mm kiln dried TOCHI1

Description

Tochi wood, also known as Aesculus turbinata, is a species of horse chestnut tree native to Japan. It is known for its light, creamy white to pale brown colour and smooth texture, often used in traditional Japanese woodworking. Tochi wood is lightweight and relatively soft, making it easy to work with hand tools, ideal for carving, crafting, and turning. It’s commonly used for making traditional kitchenware, bowls, trays, and fine furniture. Due to its fine grain and soft, workable nature, Tochi wood is also valued for producing musical instruments, especially percussion instruments. Its versatility and light colour make it a popular choice for delicate, artistic woodworking projects.
