Reindeer sandwich plate thermowood

Reindeer sandwich plate thermowood from Skandinavisk Hemslöjd. Plate + butterknife of heat treated Ash wood (thermowood). Size 21×13 cm. Thermowood is wood that has been dried under very high temperature. Such a drying process changes the properties of the wood. The main advantages are that it becomes dimensionally stable and that it sucks very little water after the heat treatment, which gives the wood a high root resistance and withstands dishes to a greater extent than wood that has not been heated.
