The tall wooden wine glass looks like a glass goblet. The difference is that it is drawn with wooden paint, which is qualitatively different from the glass. The Yi high-foot wooden wine glass has a thick and narrow body, high feet, and a round base on the soles of the feet. The wooden tire of the high-footed wooden wine glass is taken from a round wooden tube. One side is fixed to a special rotating tool, and the other side uses a curved blade fast knife. When the rotating tool rotates, the curved blade knife will evenly dig out the inner side of the wooden tire to make it into a cup shape. After the cup is made, it is painted with red, black and yellow, which is beautiful and practical.
Production process
The raw material used in Yi lacquerware is high-quality bauhinia wood grown in the cold area above 3,500 meters above sea level as an embryo, using earth paint, silver red, stone yellow and other precious natural raw materials, with traditional handicraft skills, through dozens of processes such as painting and painting, fetal bone selection and treatment, horizontal wooden tires, coloring and painting. Refined, because only natural materials are selected, it is very exquisite, so it has the characteristics of non-toxic, no odor, acid and alkali resistance, high temperature resistance, etc. It can be called "green ecological lacquerware".
Yi lacquerware is very important for the study and selection of materials. The thickness, softness and hardness of the wood are different, the texture of the material is different, and the quality and effect of the paint are also very different. Some wood paint always shows spots or uneven paint when it comes out, and there is no luster. If you use rhododendron, yellow tree, poplar, walnut and birch as lacquer material, there is no such phenomenon, and the effect is good. Rhododendron (Soma in Yi) and birch are commonly used as lacquer materials. Both trees grow in cold mountain areas. The material is delicate, not soaking and not hard, and has a clear fragrance. The painted utensils have a good gloss. In particular, Soma trees are delicate, slender and crisscrossed, and the utensils are not easy to crack, which is the best raw material for lacquerware.
In addition to the exquisite selection, lacquer masters also studied the prone to cracking after paint and preventive measures, that is, heat treat the raw materials before making the lacquerware, some put the wood in the pot and boil it for a few hours; some put the material in the high sheep manure pile for a period of time, the purpose of which is to control the cracking. The phenomenon occurs. The best harvesting season is November or before the beginning of spring every year. Because this season is in the dry season, the juice on the trees is absorbed by the dry soil, and the cut materials are almost semi-dry, which is easy to use.
