Out Of The Woods

 

We’re not quite there yet, but in this season of great transition we can finally start to see the forest for the trees. As we approach the end of 2020, placing one particularly hard-earned ring around the tree of life, we celebrate all things dendrological; the intrinsic flexibility and elemental beauty, the scent and sensuality, the innate symbol of growth and stalwart strength that is, wood. Whether smooth or rough-hewn, uniquely against the grain or plainly presented in olive, oak, ash, alder, mango or mahogany, we are tree huggers through and through, in love with the precious properties of this most natural element. This source of fire, this most ancient and replenishable material that has been bent and burnt, chamfered and chiseled, drilled, dovetailed, patched, planed, sanded and stained by the artist and the artisan for as far back as civilization has been recorded. Its roots run deep. We want it now, and always. We’re going out on a limb and guessing you feel the same.
