The oak tree stands
noble on the hill even in
cherry blossom time
noble on the hill even in

(a haiku by Basho)
All AD IDEM, all the time, as of late. These three one-of-a-kind rings are made of hickory--the remnants of bent wood from my bracelets--inlaid with purpleheart and rosewood.
These rings honor the joining, the ethics and honesty of woodworking. I look to the tradition of Japanese joinery, particularly: elements measured, cut, planed, and sanded in a precise manner. Here I'm celebrating the idea of this elegant function as minimalist adornment.
