Materials:

Materials:

Sarsou wood: known for its strength and striking natural grain.

Care Instructions:

Clean Carefully: Wash Sarsou wood items by hand using warm water and mild soap. Avoid soaking the wood in water, as it can absorb moisture and lose its shape.
Dry Right Away: After washing, use a soft cloth to dry the item completely. Don’t let it air dry, because excess moisture can make the wood swell or crack.
Oil Regularly: Put a little olive oil on a soft cloth and rub it into the wood. This keeps the wood moisturized and makes the grain stand out. Let it sit for about 20-30 minutes, then wipe off any extra oil to avoid stickiness.
Use Oil Sparingly: Be careful not to overdo it with olive oil. Too much oil can make the wood greasy or even develop a bad smell.
Keep Away from Heat and Sun: Protect your wooden items from direct sunlight, microwaves, or dishwashers. High heat and sudden temperature changes can dry out the wood and cause cracks or fading.
Important Note: The weight and dimensions of this item are approximate. Because each piece is individually handcrafted, slight variations in size and weight may occur, reflecting the unique nature of artisanal work. Additionally, the wood’s natural formations and overlapping colors are arranged randomly, resulting in each product having a one-of-a-kind appearance that may differ from one piece to another.

Following these simple steps will help keep your Sarsou wood products looking great and in good condition for a long time.

Sarsou Woodworking

Stages of Manufacturing:

Wood Selection and Preparation: Sarsou wood, known for its density and durability, is harvested and stored for up to four years to ensure complete drying. This preparation phase is critical to achieve the desired strength and quality.

Rough Shaping: Using basic tools like saws and chisels, craftsmen carve the wood into rough shapes. The initial cuts define the product's form, whether it be a bowl, utensil, or decorative item.

Detailed Carving: This stage involves intricate carving and detailing to add artistic flourishes. Artisans employ hand tools to achieve fine details, especially for decorative or figurative elements.

Sanding and Smoothing: Once the carving is complete, the piece is sanded thoroughly to remove rough edges and achieve a smooth finish.

Polishing and Oiling: To enhance the wood’s natural beauty, artisans use oils, such as olive oil, for polishing. This step enriches the grain and adds a protective layer.

Quality Check and Finishing Touches: Every item undergoes a quality inspection to ensure it meets aesthetic and functional standards. Additional embellishments may be added before the final product is ready for sale.

The Tradition of Sarsou Woodworking in Hagaza, Egypt Hagaza, a small village in Upper Egypt near Luxor, is renowned for its traditional craftsmanship in woodwork, particularly with Sarsou wood. This artisanal heritage has deep cultural and historical roots, reflecting the influences of Pharaonic, Coptic, and Islamic art styles. The craft in Hagaza began to develop significantly in the 1980s when a French priest helped establish a training center to teach and formalize woodcraft skills. Since then, the community has passed down the artistry across generations, preserving techniques that combine practicality with refined artistic expression. Products made in Hagaza are known for their durability and aesthetic appeal, celebrated as both cultural artifacts and functional everyday items. The wooden crafts are often showcased in exhibitions and are admired for their connection to Egypt's rich artistic heritage.
