Manufacturing Process of Coconut Shell Bowls
At Bronwiz, we take pride in the meticulous process involved in handcrafting high-quality coconut shell bowls. Each step is carefully executed to ensure the final product meets the highest standards of quality and craftsmanship. Here's a overview of our manufacturing process:
Step 1: Collection and Sun Drying
We start by sourcing raw coconut shells from farms and our trusted suppliers. These shells are then carefully cleaned and left to sun dry for a minimum of 8 hours, ensuring they are free from moisture and impurities.
Step 2: Sanding for Smoothing
Once dried, the coconut shells undergo a thorough sanding process to achieve a smooth and uniform surface. This step not only enhances the aesthetics of the bowls but also ensures a pleasant tactile experience for the end-user.
Step 3: Sketching
Skilled artisans carefully sketch the design and dimensions onto the surface of the coconut shells. This serves as a guide for the subsequent cutting process, ensuring precision in the final product.
Step 4: Cutting
Then, the coconut shells are precisely cut according to the outlined sketches. Our craftsmen pay close attention to detail to create bowls of uniform shape and size, maintaining the integrity of the original coconut shell.
Step 5: Araldite Gluing
The cut coconut shell pieces are then assembled using Araldite glue, known for its exceptional bonding strength and durability. This ensures that the bowls remain sturdy and resilient, capable of withstanding everyday use.
Step 6: Finishing
To guarantee safety and comfort, the edges of the coconut shell bowls undergo a meticulous finishing process. Any sharp edges or rough surfaces are carefully smoothed out, ensuring a seamless and user-friendly experience.
Step 7: Varnish and Timber Coat Varnish
Finally, each coconut shell bowl is treated with a coat of high-quality varnish and timber coat varnish. This not only enhances the natural beauty of the coconut shell but also provides protection against wear and tear, extending the lifespan of the product.
