The shape inside the wood

Made slowly. Made to be kept.

A bowl from a fallen branch

Tomas sees a fallen branch as a possibility rather than a finished material. In this fictional workshop story, the shape of a bowl follows the grain instead of forcing the wood to imitate something else.

The board records a practice: tools, decisions, failures, repairs and finished pieces. A photograph of wood curls can sit beside a report about responsible sourcing and a discussion about keeping objects in use.
