Working on a special project for someone wanting to remember the passing of a special person in their life.

So nice to make such a meaningful item for a customer.

100 years ago, this Tōtara fell into the deep waters of a northern river where it was preserved.

I’ve created the flow of the braided river with oak veener inlay and carved the texture of the stones directly into the grain, blurring the line between the wood and the water it came from.
