The woods

Along the right temple, red bloodwood runs lengthwise before a diagonal splice turns into upright Eastern European walnut. The walnut reappears at the front, where it meets honey-toned quartered ebony; on the opposite side, a thin walnut insert leads into blonde white ebony with bold black streaks.

The left temple uses a finer cut of white ebony, with nearly equal bands of black and blonde, before a diagonal splice into vertical-grain curly koa. Native to Hawaiʻi, koa is a traditional wood for ʻukuleles; its rippling “fiddleback” figure catches the light as the frame turns. The atelier sourced this koa through Martin & MacArthur in Hawaiʻi.
