Roughly translates as “wood grain metal or “wood eye metal” it was a metal working technique dating back to 17th Century Japan. The metal was mainly used in swords, we have worked on producing a finish that replicates this, but would be able to apply it to curved surfaces. This has been a four year process.
This is combined with Bog Oak that dates back 3500 years, once submerged in a bog for thousands of years dug up and converted into 0.5 slices and laminated back together in its original sequence.
