"PHOENIX" Kuripe Made of Dark Waru Wood

Acacia melanoxylon

Handmade product.
Las Szamana is one of the few producers in Poland creating Kuripe from this exceptional wood.

Acacia melanoxylon, also known as Dark Waru, blackwood, or Australian blackwood, is a tree species from the legume family. It naturally occurs in Australia and Tasmania, and its wood has long been valued for its durability, deep color, noble grain pattern, and high mechanical resistance.

Dark Waru wood is hard, dense, and durable, which is why it is used to create elegant functional, decorative, musical, and ceremonial objects. In the case of Kuripe, its stability, natural smoothness after finishing, and pleasant contact with the hand during use are especially important.

The "PHOENIX" model was created for people who feel connected to the symbolism of rebirth, transformation, and returning to their own strength. The phoenix has long been associated with the cycle of death and rebirth, shedding the old skin of life, purification through fire, and entering a new stage with greater awareness.

This Kuripe carries the character of an object of transition. It is not only a functional form, but also a symbol of the moment when a person leaves behind what is burned out, heavy, and no longer current, and begins to build something new. The phoenix reminds us that even after a difficult time, one can return stronger, calmer, and more true to oneself.

Handcrafting gives each piece its own individual character. The wood may vary in shade, grain pattern, and small finishing details, because it is a natural, living, and unique material. This makes every Kuripe made of Dark Waru wood one of a kind.
