Pōhutukawa bowl with adze exterior
Te Whero (the red) is a name that speaks simply but holds much, it carries the colour of the wood that deep living red that runs through Pōhutukawa, but also speaks to what red means. life, blood, earth, memory and the quiet power of presence.
around the shell and rim, the adze texture left bear not polished away, not hidden. Each cut cut catches the light differently. they invite touch, remind us that this was made slowly, shaped not for perfection. you can feel the process in every notch, every rise and fall of the surface.
it may have once been a part of a tree that fell in a storm, pushed down after standing long and proud, its roots tangled in cliff and stone. And yet now, it rests in a new form, not gone just changed
to make things like this is to work with time itself, with grain shaped by years, with tools that eco old ways, with wood that holds stories long before the first cut is made.
Te Whero is a reminder:
what is scarred can still hold beauty
what is made by hand carries soul
that the marks left behind are not flaws, but proof of living
a piece of the coast, A memory made to be held and admired for generations to come.
