The traditional lacquer process as practiced in Vietnam is quite complicated and can take up to 75-105 days to finish one piece. Even a simple bowl takes a minimum of 50 days. Your lacquer product has been through twenty stages in the lacquering process before packing!

1.                  The raw timber product is examined and any cracks and indentations are sealed with natural lacquer from the native lacquer tree in some villages in the south of Vietnam .

2.                   After checking that the natural lacquer has not affected the intended shape, the product is covered with fine cotton gauze to ensure there will be no cracking at a later stage.

3.                   The natural lacquer is then mixed with finely ground mountain rock, sawdust, and alluvial soil. Using a type of spatula, the product is covered with a thick coating.

4.                   When the coating has dried the product is placed under water and is polished using a sharpening stone.

5.                  Using a brush made from natural fibers, a mixture of alluvial soil and natural lacquer is painted onto the product.

6.                   Step 4 is repeated.

7.                   Step 5 is repeated.

8.                   Step 4 is repeated.

9.                   The product is covered with pure natural lacquer.

10.               This is the only stage that involves the use of machinery and even this is only to beat the natural lacquer to form a glutinous mixture. The natural lacquer is beaten for 24 hours. The product is then coated thickly.

11.               Once again the product is polished under water with a sharpening stone

12.               Step 10 is repeated.

13.              Step 11 is repeated.

14.               The base design is stenciled and the details are painted by hand. This is why every lacquer product is an original piece. No two pieces are quite alike.

15.               The surface without design are painted with lacquer and the areas with design are painted with a special clear lacquer.

16.               The whole product is given a second coat of clear lacquer.

17.               A third coat of clear lacquer is applied.

18.              The product is polished with wax.

19.               Hinges and locks are fitted.
