I use Future Floor Polish because I like things to be inexpensive and easy to get a hold of. These still need a shiny finish. To get the black and ox blood red trays is very simple. Mix a bit of black with red for ox blood, a traditional color used in Japan. Roll out a sheet of that and then back it with a sheet of black and run both through the pasta press and cut out your boxes and trays. If you cut out a circle you can make bowls and vessels that hold stuff like soy sauce. Chop sticks are too easy to make, take some woodsies and a razor and go at it.
