This project is based on the concept of sacred geometry as an interstellar math language left for us to discover eons ago by alien civilisation. Objects are in the form of relics dug out from sublayers of the Earth.

Handmade brackets for ikebana vase.

I love the energy around the workshop. Especially when I can learn something new using the opportunity.

It wasn't different this time. A walk in customer ordered a gift for his newborn grandson. Quick trip to Move On Wood Recycling to get the material and 2 days after it was ready. Finished with Danish Oil.

Evolution of a project.

At some point while travelling I came with an idea of incense stick holder inspired by Japanese esthetics.

Ideal projection in my head came out looking like child's drawing of a tank. But the process continued. Final version is the fourth in line of designs. Photos will take you through it in reverse order.

30 of these will be soon available for purchase. They are fully handmade from oak and brass. Blackened with Sumi ink and varnished. 30cm long, 2.5cm thick, 3cm wide, 12mm brass rod.

Slowly getting back to work after chiselfilled event 🥴

Sooo... I'll be off for some time. 🥴 Luckily the overall number is still 10 👐 😏

I have to say... it works like a charm 🙂

Last step of first batch of prototypes - gluing the feet in.

Came up with an idea, we'll see if it will look in reality like I have imagined. 😎

Incense stick holder made from scrapwood and brass rod, finished with wax.

First step of new project completed. Roughly six to eight more to go to just to finish a prototype. 😆
