Cocobollo Wood Turn Pendent.

Branching out in different forms of wood working we have found wood turning a proper transition into new elements of design. These are just practice samples before we get to the fun projects. All recycled Cocobollo Wood Pendent with recycled leather chain.

Hand-carved Buckeye Burl Wood Pendent

With each piece we truly dedicate time, and love to complete every detail. This Pendent is hand carved out of Buckeye Burl. 

Just to inform the readers, Burl is the part of wood which exposes the knots, which makes it a little more difficult to work with, but when is it complete, the grain is magnificent. 

To compliment the beautiful shades of blues and greens within the wood, we have embedded a Tiger Eye stone into the face of the pendent. The chain is a antique chain with a strong magnetic clasp. 

Features which you miss by not being able to experience this piece up close, is the smooth shape of the pendent. We have begun building upon this idea of stimming. Stimming is also known as self-stimulation, which is created by a repetitive movement that triggers the calmness of nerves. Organic shapes seem to calm the nerves and sooth some from bad habits. At first this idea seemed far fetched, but it has truly proven to work. We strive for products of purpose.

Behold the Enlightened Power Of Spring

As the season turns and winter transforms into the warmth of spring, I find a calm light weight feeling of welcoming that fresh start of a new year. Flowers shall begin to bloom and trees will bud in shades of green, while the frozen waters begin to rush back into action. The transition  from winter to spring becomes my subtle reminder in the magic of life that surrounds me. All nature temporally dormant in the frigid cold, but springs to life in a poetic rhythm in the coming of warmer days.
