General Information

How to Make Your Wooden Plate

1. Sketch

Draw your design onto the wooden plate with a pencil. Think about the overall shape, size, and any patterns or textures you would like to carve before you begin.

2. Carving

Once you have a clear idea of the finished design, use the carving knife to carve the surface of the plate. The depth and pattern of the carving are entirely up to you. You can also shape the edges and base of the plate to create a more unique and personalised piece.

3. Sanding

Smooth the plate using the included 150-grit sandpaper until any roughness has been removed. Then refine the surface further with the 240-grit and 400-grit sandpaper for a smooth finish.

4. Apply Wax & Wipe

Apply a thin layer of beeswax to the plate using one of the included cloths. Once coated, use the second cloth to wipe away any excess wax.

If the beeswax container is difficult to open, warm it slightly with your hands before opening.

5. Dry & Finish

Allow the beeswax to dry for approximately half a day to one day. Once dry, your wooden plate is complete and ready to use.

For a more personal touch, consider adding a date, initials, or a special message to the underside of the plate.

Important Notes

  • Recommended age: 10 years and over.
