Raw and reflective.
Each groove is hand-chiselled over weeks of making, gradually revealing a surface that shifts with light and shadow. The hammered texture becomes a form of expression – carved to continue the material’s narrative rather than conceal it.
Harvested from a 100-year-old log, the timber is cut into planks and kiln-dried to stabilise the material before being assembled into boards. Using traditional chiselling techniques passed through generations, the surface is carved from multiple angles to create a field of dimples across the wood.
Each indentation is repeatedly sanded and stained, allowing pigment to settle deep within the grain. Crafted by two artisans working in rhythm, the process balances consistency with variation – resulting in a surface that is precise, yet inherently irregular.
