Thinned Wood.

Wooden products in the spirit of kamaboko. The simple designs enhance elegant grain patterns to create beautifully fashioned products.

Technique
Timber is milled into square rods, removing cracks and knots that would otherwise render it unusable. The second layer is rotated 90 degrees to reduce shrinkage and increase strength. Tall products can be made from a single parquet block, requiring just 1/3 the material of solid wood.
