Description
Kuripe made from Dark Waru Wood "Phoenix"
"Phoenix" is a kuripe with a carved, more elaborate form. The body is shaped as a bird with spread wings, with the feathers, head, and tail clearly marked. It’s a figurine-style model - visually it resembles a small sculpture first, and only then a tool in the classic kuripe layout.
Material - dark Waru wood
Waru is a hard and dense wood. In the dark version it most often leans toward deep browns, sometimes with subtle, low-contrast grain. In this model, the carved feather cuts and the wing edges interact strongly with light, so the detail stays readable even when the wood itself has no strong contrasts.
Handmade work
Each piece is handmade, so differences may appear in the shade of dark Waru, the grain layout, and the intensity of the carved details (depth of cuts, edge sharpness, small proportions). With figurine models, these differences are a natural part of the material and the handwork.
-
a carved bird form with spread wings
-
the dark, restrained color palette of Waru
-
a more object-like character than simple kuripes
If you’re looking for a kuripe with a clear motif and a carved form, the "Phoenix" in dark Waru is one of the models that moves furthest away from the classic minimalist body.
