    This olive tray is recommended for interior decoration and as a cash tray, with the key point being that the bark of the wood is left intact.

    About the material:
    The area of Palestine is the origin of the olive tree, and its cultivation dates back to ancient times, even before B.C. (some old trees grow there, thousands of years old). The olive harvest takes place every fall, after which the trees are pruned to ensure their health. The pruned branches and trunks are then given to wood suppliers and transformed into a variety of crafts and daily necessities.

    About the creators:
    "Holy Land Handicrafts Cooperatives Society" Established to protect local traditional crafts and artisans from the global economy, it is the oldest member organization of the World Fair Trade Organization (WFTO) in the Middle East. Collaborating with small workshops and an office that serves as a window to the rest of the world, the society guarantees the livelihood of approximately 2,000 people. Bridging Chopsticks buys its products by communicating directly with Amira in the office.

    The situation in Palestine:
    Palestine has a deep history, warm people, and is actually a great place to travel (Staying in Palestine: https://note.com/kakehashi_pale/m/m70c26db08307). On the other hand, it is an occupied territory, and the ordinary citizens living there are not guaranteed basic rights. There are checks on the road to move around town, and it is not easy to go abroad. Because of the occupiers, it is not always safe to go to school or work. Even under such circumstances, we believe that connecting through fair trade and being able to communicate with each other's temperature will lead to grassroots peace.

    Usage scenarios:

    • As an interior tray
    • As cash trays in stores

    Care:

    Apply cooking oil to restore the luster of the wood. If the wood is chipped or scratched, polish the area with fine sandpaper (#300~400) and then apply oil. Olive wood is resistant to mold and bacteria. The wood may crack over time, but please enjoy this as part of the wood's character.

    We hope you will use it for a long time.
