This is the only area of the world where one can find these stunningly beautiful creations that shine in the light. For centuries the traditional craftsmanship of the artisans has been hidden from the rest of the world but these gifts are now available wordwide via the web.

The thuya tree is small in stature but has massive roots. It is these roots and their outgrowths which are diligently milled and polished by Artisans who have learned their traditional crafts through generations of experience. By using natural oils and lemon juice, the natural burled grain of the wood is shown to great effect.

Nowhere else in the world will one find such unique gifts - both in the craftsmanship and in the nature of the wood itself.
