Symbolism: In many cultures, wood with natural bark represents a deep connection to the earth and nature, grounding the wearer in the present moment.
Design Features:

Hei Toki Adze Shape:
The Hei Toki shape has been skillfully carved to reflect traditional designs, symbolizing leadership, strength, and power.

Raw Bark Back:
The back of the pendant remains untouched, preserving the natural bark of the Laburnum wood. This contrast between the polished front and raw back creates a unique and tactile piece, connecting you directly to the material's natural origins.

The pendant is carefully treated with boiled linseed oil, which highlights the natural grain and protects the wood.
It is then polished with Brays Bees cream polish, a locally sourced product from nearby beekeepers, supporting local artisans and ensuring a sustainable finish that adds to the wood’s natural beauty.

Craftsmanship:

Handcrafted: Every pendant is meticulously carved by hand, ensuring each piece is one-of-a-kind. The inclusion of the bark is intentional, highlighting the natural beauty and uniqueness of the wood.

Versatile Wear:

Cord Options: The pendant can be paired with a waxed nylon cord for a rustic, natural look or a more refined sterling silver chain, allowing you to style it to your preference.
Care Instructions:

Natural Bark: The bark is delicate and should be handled with care to prevent chipping. To maintain the wood’s natural beauty, a light coating of beeswax or linseed oil can be applied periodically.
This pendant is not just a piece of jewellery but a connection to nature, embodying the balance between refinement and raw, natural beauty. Perfect for those who appreciate traditional craftsmanship with a unique, organic twist.
