are the bottom "rings" finished or raw?

In between. They look raw, but feel like there is a clear finish on them. Be aware that the dishes are rather heavy.

yes, they're just the rings...that spatula looking thing is the only 'bottom' they have. I have used them to bake cakes by putting them on a silpat sheet, but they do still leak a wee bit, and I wouldn't try a particularly runny batter at all. But given that wasn't what they were actually designed to do, I thought they worked rather well.

Yes, the bottom is mesh with a smaller ring on the inside of the point where the edges meet the base.

It is a nicely finished raw wood, but smooth and pleasing too look at on it's own. I have 3 of them. It could be re-finished if you wanted to, but is a nice stand alone finish too.

The bottom is but water got into the top. I had to separate the lid and dry it separately. I love them!

I would call them unfinished. Keep in mind they are hidden and you only see them when the cabinet door is open

I would say absolutely not. The bottom has a cut in pattern with some painted, some bare metal, and there are some sharp edges there.

It is very smooth and unfinished. Ready to be stained. I do believe it is untreated. Hope that is helpful.

No it's not. I guess it's what would be called the raw material. It's that dark blue finish with the white small dots. It's been the same in all the kettles I recall owning. It doesn't feel as if there's any finish on it. I hope this helps. I like the kettle very much. When it arrived I thought it might be too small but it's perfect; just the right size for my needs.

I purchased one of these sets; I can't claim to have a definitive answer, but the inside is clearly "raw," that is, not polished. The outside is at least polished, and there could be a sealer on it, such as one you may use on granite counter tops. I'm thinking that the inside is left that way to avoid slippage when you grind herbs. Just an idea...

They are raw because if they are varnished I can not do engraving or artwork. I do varnish them for a small upcharge. If that is what you need you will have to contact me before ordering.404.8227512Thank you for your interest.Papa Rudy

The one we received was raw wood. My son wanted it unfinished so he could finish it himself. The surface was very clean and only needed light sanding in preparation for finishing.

These are finished, not raw wood. You would have to strip them first to stain them.

Outside bottom is smooth black with copper rings. Inside bottom is smooth black with a grey sort of chicken wire pattern and a heat sensor in the center.

They are wooden and finished in a food safe, very hard finish. I purchased 3 sets and gave 2 as gifts. Wonderful!

It is a little rough because the bowl does not have any finish on it. It had been sanded smooth but needs to be oiled after cleaning each time inside & out. It is raw wood. I love it by the way. It is exactly what I wanted.

The rings are see threw kind of. I wouldn't call them true see threw rings but there is an open space under them.if you have hire sights you could make them work.
