Kuripe made from Tamarind Wood "Wolf"

Description
Kuripe made from Tamarind Wood "Wolf"
The "Wolf" model is a carved kuripe where the front part is shaped as a wolf’s head. The ears, snout, and “fur” texture are carved into the wood, and the form transitions into the classic kuripe arms. It’s a tool you notice immediately - it has a strong motif and a clear character, while remaining fully functional.
Material - tamarind wood
Tamarind typically has a warm brown tone with natural transitions - from lighter, honey-like areas to darker, deeper bands. The structure is often fairly dense, and after finishing the wood becomes smooth to the touch. In carved models, tamarind often shows lively color variation, because the details catch light differently than a flat surface.
Handmade work
Each piece is handmade, so differences between items are normal: shade, grain layout, the intensity of darker areas, and small variations in the carved details. That’s part of working with a natural material, especially with figurative models.
