Home > Charcoal Chinaware Manufacturing Process     Many kinds of wood are used for the making of craftwork. However, for charcoal chinaware, the ash tree is most suitable. For the manufacture of the product, ash trees need to be cut and properly de-barked. After the shaping process, a specific size scoop is made in the wood. Then it goes through yet another shaping process for the second and third times, followed by the drying process. Generally, wood requires more than six months for natural drying, however, we use our specially -developed wood kiln to finish the entire process within two to three weeks, significantly reducing the drying time by six months. Next, a final shaping process is applied to the rough wood that includes side, inside and bottom pro-cessing and lastly sandpapering to ensure a smooth surface. Various sandpapers are used from coarse to fine in order to achieve maximum shine. After that, they are loaded for kilning. Our exclusively developed patent-licensed kiln is used for this process. It takes about two to three weeks to complete the process. A high-quality charcoal has electrical resistance of less than 10(Ω). The higher the quality, the lower the value. Our charcoal chinaware is high quality with less than 10(Ω) of electrical resistance.   After two to three weeks of kilning, its size is reduced by 70% of the wood material or 50% of that be- fore kilning. After that those selected upon inspection will be cleaned of charcoal dust three times. (During the kilning process, the product becomes more durable due to contraction and a coating layer forms on the surface causing even finer porosity.) Next, it is thinly coated with lacquer numerous times for ten to fifteen days to enhance durability and to heighten the visual appearance. (This process provides a natural look and surface protection by applying several layers of lacquer coating.) Once dried, flower painting using colored lacquer is applied for finishing. Because colored lacquer is absorbed into the surface, flower painting should be repeated five to six times for two weeks. When completed, it is packed for shipping. Charcoal absorbs bacteria, smells, harmful chemicals and toxins as well as providing medical trea- tment and preservation. Recently, a variety of charcoal products has been manufactured and used to enrich our lives. Charcoal Chinaware takes full advantages of these benefits added with artistic quality.
