Jujube · one face left off the saw

Jujube plaque, uncarved

$128

A rectangular plaque of jujube, planed flat, sanded to 800 grit and finished with wax. One face is left as it came off the saw, so the grain and whatever marks the tree grew are left where they are rather than planed away. There is no carving and no inscription — the plaque is the wood, and a carving would only cover it up.

Material
Jujube wood (Ziziphus jujuba), waxed
Surface
Sanded to 800 grit; one face left sawn
Care
Keep out of direct sun and away from radiators; wood moves with humidity. Re-wax yearly.

Ships from Hangzhou in 2–5 business days. Delivery is typically 7–15 business days to the US and 8–16 to the EU, UK, Australia and New Zealand, customs permitting. Import duties and taxes are charged by your country's customs, not by us, and are payable on delivery. The United States ended its $800 duty-free exemption on 29 August 2025, so US orders now attract duty at every value. The EU introduces a flat €3 duty per item on goods below €150 from 1 July 2026.

Where it comes from

The blank plaque is an old form. A piece of wood with nothing written on it is the one object that can be given to anyone, for anything, without the giver having to guess what the recipient needs. It is also the honest form: the only claim a blank plaque makes is about the material it is made from, and that claim is checkable.
