I’m so grateful to work with wood. I love how it’s perfectly beautiful just as it is.
One of my favourites to use is ebony. It’s a true black colour, incredibly hard and polishes to a stone like finish. The grain is so tight it can even handle a bit of moisture. This is the wood that started it all. I was given some boards to play around with back in the beginning and when I ran out I went on the hunt to buy more. I quickly discovered I couldn’t find it ethically harvested and for how slow growing it is I didn’t want to. This led to many wonderful relationships with local wood workers who continue to keep me supplied with the prettiest off cuts and old bits. Creating jewelry from this precious wood has lead to important conversations about sustainability, resources and what we value. Thank you ebony 🖤
