The Woodworking
Working with wood
is a synergistic combination
of
Art & Science -
The Art of
Listening, Sensitivity,
Observation & Patience
combined with
The Science of
Understanding the Material,
its Grains, Density,
Texture, Porosity
& its Behaviour
under various conditions.
Wood-working
is akin to
Working with Children :
sometimes we’re Firm,
at times Gentle;
we strive towards
bringing out
the Latent Possibilities
that lay Hidden Within.
We do so
by keenly studying the material and its responses
to our actions;
gauging that which
it seeks to become.
Towards the end of our efforts
we discover a wondrous piece
that has found its second life
in a new form;
The soul of a tree in another avatar.
To borrow a line
from one of our mentors,
George Nakashima,
“… seeing kinship
with each piece of wood,
eventually creating
an inward mood of space,
then bit by bit
finding peace and joy
in shaping timber
into objects of utility
and perhaps,
when nature smiles,
Beauty.”
The most versatile of all natural building materials – Wood, is alive. It can work in tension & compression.
It can be cut, bent, carved & sculpted.
With it one can find meaning in a void,
create forms like a frozen fluid with sweeping curves
or manifest the solidity of stoic unmovable earth.
It is Man’s first choice for building material.
Wood has an inherent spiritual quality of connecting
Human with Nature.

Your table is a reflection of your mind. "
