Made from walnut, beeswax. Looked after well, a piece like this is meant to be used for years and handed on.
Walnut
Walnut darkens beautifully with use. Hand-wash, never soak, and refresh with a food-safe oil and wax whenever the surface looks thirsty.
Beeswax
Trim the wick to about 5 mm before each burn and let the first burn reach the edges. Burn away from drafts; keep the reusable glass for a second life when it's done.

A heirloom already
The grain is unbelievable. We use it daily and oil it monthly.
