Finish

A small ash box with finger-jointed corners that sits on the worktop and holds a 4 litre pail for peelings, coffee grounds and eggshells. The lid lifts off by a carved hollow; lift the pail out by its handle and carry it to the compost or the food-waste bin.

There is no carbon filter and no seal: the lid sits on top, it does not clip shut. That keeps it simple and easy to clean, but it means you should empty it every day or two, especially in summer. Keep it away from the edge of the sink, where the wood would sit in standing water.

Specification

  • Approx. 24 W × 22 D × 22 H cm (9½ × 8½ × 8½ in); sizes are approximate
  • Holds one 4 L (about 1 US gal) grey polypropylene pail with a fold-down handle, included
  • Solid ash with finger-jointed corners; lift-off solid ash lid with a carved finger hollow
  • Weight about 1.6 kg (3½ lb); arrives assembled
  • Natural: clear matt oil; the ash stays pale honey-coloured and mellows slowly over the years
  • Black: water-based black stain under the same matt oil; the grain shows through as darker texture, and knocks on edges can show paler wood
  • Made for us by a furniture workshop to our drawings; dispatched from Hong Kong within 3 to 5 business days
  • No pedal, no sensor, no motor and no batteries

Care. Dust with a dry cloth and wipe marks with a cloth wrung out in warm water and a drop of mild soap, then dry the wood straight away. Do not soak it, and keep bleach, solvent-based kitchen sprays and steam cleaners off it. Wipe spills on the top or lid before they sit. Re-oil once or twice a year with a hardwax or furniture oil; the black finish takes the same oil. Lift the inner bucket or pail out to wash it in the sink. More on Care & Materials.
