UNRULY
"Not all rulers like to follow the rules."

Instead, you'll find yourself circling the ...

Torrified ash Blinded
I used torrified ash, sapele and tigerwood to make this copy of Blinded. One of only two made. Torrefied wood (or roasted wood) is hardwood baked in an oxygen-free kiln at high temperatures. This process eliminates moisture, sap, and sugars and creates a highly stable, rot-resistant wood that is lighter, stiffer, darker and less prone to warping. I really like how dark this turned out after a hand rubbed oil and wax finish. Measurements are 5x3.5x4.
