There are no issues with durability or functionality, only aesthetic concerns. Products that do not meet our internal standards during inspection are sold as items with defects. - Bark inclusion: This is a trace of bark that was wrapped around due to damage during growth. There will be no future cracking or rotting from this area. - Color variation: This refers to significant differences in color or grain texture between adjacent pieces of wood when laminated. If a noticeable color difference is found after machining, it is classified as a defective item. Aomori Hiba wood contains various color tones, including greenish, yellowish, and skin-like shades within a single tree. Therefore, some color variation is always present in standard products. It is not true that standard products have no color variation. Items with particularly severe color differences are classified as defective, and the majority of defective items fall under this category. - Poor grain flow: This refers to wood grain that is not straight and has a wavy pattern. All issues are purely aesthetic, and there are no defects that would affect functionality or durability in the future. There may also be other reasons for defects, and it is common for multiple issues to exist simultaneously. We do not accept returns based on aesthetic defects.
