Japanese Style Marking Gauge
The Kehiki (Marking Gauge) is the most fundamental, yet vital tool in Japanese joinery. What you will gain through this project is not just a layout tool. It is an experience of "Immersion"—the quiet dialogue with wood, the sharpening of the blade, and the feeling of a tool becoming an extension of your own hand.
Sushi Tray
The Sushi Tray project is a gateway to the elegance and precision of Japanese joinery. What you will gain through this project is not just a serving piece. It is an experience of "Immersion"—the quiet dialogue with wood, the rhythmic snapping of the fibers, and the feeling of creating a sanctuary on your own dining table.
