It sounds like your tanoa is getting kanikani.I also notice the kava seems to fade the color of that finish
Sorry for the delay. It’s like a wax so you just apply it with a paper towel, let it sit for a couple hours and then remove the residue with a towel. It’s really good stuff. Highly recommended.How do you apply that ^^
That's done with bilo (coconut shells), not with tanoa.I think some have said that they used to be submerged in mud for strength / color in the past?
A simple salad bowl never gave me any issues, sure it's not traditional but it's definitely practical. Simple rinse afterwards and done. I have a medium size bowl with a grippy bottom, perfect for going in on the knead.Yeah, I've had issues with tanoa coating. I seem to be a bit too dumb to be concerned about such things. Hence my seven bouts with malaria.
