What is Ottchil (옷칠)?
Ottchil is a traditional Korean lacquer technique.
It uses the secretions of the Korean "Ott" tree.
Collecting, refining and applying this Ottchil sap is a nuanced and delicate process - requiring decades of experience to master.
At Chilmong, only sap from Wonju Ott Trees is used (as it contains the highest-quality sap).
When properly applied, Ottchil lacquer produces an incredibly durable finish on wood.
The lacquered wood will not rot, discolor or deteriorate with extended use… or even when exposed to water.
(Typically, wooden utensils start to rot and discolor at the tips after a few months of rinsing. Rest assured, this will not.)
Furthermore, Ottchil also creates a natural 99.9% antibacterial surface!
This is why Ottchil has long been known as the best material for tableware in Korea.

Coated with Korea's Highest-Quality Ottchil Lacquer
The spoon and chopsticks are coated with 6 layers of Ottchil Sap (from Wonju Ottchil Trees)
Wonju Ottchil Trees are known for producing the highest-quality sap for Ottchil lacquer
When the surface of Ottchil Trees are scratched, the tree releases sap
This sap is carefully collected and skillfully refined for use as lacquer
The coating process, in which layers of lacquer must be repeatedly applied and left to dry, requires great patience
Producing lacquerware is a notoriously prolonged and labor-intensive process, which has sometimes been called the “art of time”
Ottchil Sap is Harvested by Master Ahn Young Bae
Extracting Ottchil Sap requires decades of skillful experience and know-how
Chilmong's Ottchil Sap is extracted in Wonju by Master Ottchil Harvester, Ahn Young Bae (license shown above)
Why Wonju Ottchil?
Wonju Ottchil Trees contain the highest amounts of Urushiol, a natural oily compound
The higher the concentration of Urushiol, the higher the quality ↑
In one year, Wonju Trees produce only 80-120kg of Sap - limited supply makes it an expensive material
When lacquered with Wonju Ottchil, craft items can last for a lifetime, and acquire anti-bacterial properties
Ottchil Lacquered Items have a 99.9% Anti-Bacterial Surface

Product Notice
Refrain from biting down on the chopsticks themselves - this may damage the ottchil coating
The tips of the chopsticks can wear down if dragged along rough surfaces (be wary of using in cast-iron)
Do not place for long periods in high heat
Do not apply excessive pressure or trauma to the chopsticks
How to Wash
- Do NOT use the hard side (green) of a kitchen sponge - use the soft-side instead!
- Do NOT soak the chopsticks in water for long periods of time. If there are food pieces stuck, soak it for 2-3 minutes, then wash-off with a soft sponge
- Do not boil chopsticks (to clean). Ottchil surfaces are already 99.9% anti-septic - no need to sterilize
- It's fine to rinse Ottchil chopsticks with just water (no soap needed) - bacteria will not grow or spread on its surface
