wood selection and cutting

The hinoki wood boards are chosen one by one according to the necessity and planned use

The wood is cut as per the required sizes, eliminating soft areas (young layers) and knots, respecting the direction of the grain.

The wood is planed to remove the imperfections and bring it to a uniform thickness.

With a technique borrowed from boat construction, two planks are partially overlapped and hand sawn: so the adjacent boards are originated by a single cut and can match perfectly.
