Hey Everyone! Just a heads up that we have moved our monthly giveaway to tomorrow. Good luck to everyone. I believe we are giving away a set of Ipes.

We’ve been burning the midnight oil getting ready for tomorrow’s launch of the Ipe Hybrids. Also known as Ironwood, Ipe has one of the highest Janka hardness ratings of any hardwood making it incredibly hard and durable. The coolest part about this batch is how much variance in color and woodgrain there is. There’s everything from super light, to really dark, and even some two-toned which is super rare. These will be launching first thing tomorrow morning and when they’re gone they’re gone as Ipe has been incredible hard to come by lately. We’re even launching a small batch of Ipe Stubbies too in this round - our first ever wooden Stubbie 🙌 Quantities are limited, so be sure set that alarm for 6:00am MST to snag a pair of :) Thank you for your continued support! 🙏

Round two of revisions on the Kobō Krusher Trainer, and we think we've finally dialed it in. Guess Erik's favorite number, and we'll send you a sample to product test! ⚠️ Only ONE guess per person.

I will be creating a Japan course in our class room for those who want to learn more about the training and arts we discovered.

My wood addiction has worsened over the past couple of months... I can't stop buying exotic wood and it's starting to cause problems in my relationships, hahaha. But, I mean COME ON!!! It's too beautiful NOT to buy! Even if we don't have the budget... actually, especially when we don't have the budget, and I don't have a plan for what to do with it... Sometimes that's the best way I create products though... I fall in love with the material, then start to daydream about what it could become. First things first, most Tigerwood I've come across in the past has been pretty boring and bland with very little character; maybe a few stripes here and there at best. But, I recently stumbled on a batch that BLEW MY MIND! I have never seen Tigerwood with this much TIGER energy in my life! It's wild... The only responsible thing to do was to back up the truck and buy a bunch... Now I need to figure out what to make out of it... I did a test run on some Tanto Trainers just to see what it would look like, and I was blown away! But we just recently dropped a batch of Tanto, and I'm feeling saucy! I am currently in the lab, starting to experiment with a few different innovative design concepts using this stunning Tigerwood.... Stay tuned... I shall emerge soon with something that's never been seen before 🔥
