High Quality Materials

My wood suppliers are in accordance with CITES regulations regarding endangered tree species. I chiefly use locally sourced, air dried woods, among which are plum wood, cherry tree, pear wood and Swedish whitebeam. More exclusive wood options available are among others curly birch, golden chain tree, boxwood, African blackwood and Mopane. Please feel free to contact me with any special order requests.
All woodwork is internally sealed to prevent any possible pores, and then externally treated with linseed oil and wax.
For detail work I use imitation tusk and bone, exclusive wood, bronze and brass.
The bags are made with vegetable-tanned Swedish leather and are sewn with thick braided nylon thread. Vegetable-tanning is a process free from any harmful chemicals, better for you and the environment!
