Dimensions of the pedestal tray, "Khantoke" are a low round table with several legs connected to the top tray with a round base. Khantoke (or it is sometimes called toke) was originally made with a big solid piece of teakwood. Lathing and carving techniques are employed. After lathing, carving and polishing, coating with natural polymers was then applied. Bamboo and rattan can be also used instead of teakwood. Therefore, khantoke lacquerware, which has bamboo as a base, is also popular. Kian is a northern Thai word (similar to central Thai for word of "glueng") which means lathe. Therefore Baan Chang Kian or Wat Chang Kian used to be the community that was the residence of lathe craftsmen ("chang") in the old days
