A tool for people who work with their hands.
For carvers, a place to keep the wood you've worked and share the wood you've found.
Two pillars under one roof, each with its own posture.
The journal is private and presence-led. It holds the work in front of you: photos and a note when there is something to remember, piece and lineage when you want to follow the thread from tree to piece.
The field is shared and connection-led. Carvers leave word about the wood they have spotted. A pin on the map, a photo, a guess at the species, a short note. Information about wood, kept open between carvers.
When you split a log into billets, each billet carries the log's story with it. When a billet becomes a spoon, the spoon still remembers. When you spot a tree on a walk, that's the start of a story too. Both kinds of memory live here, kept honest.
Journal
Photos and a note, piece and species when you want them, kept private.
- A photo and a note
- Log to billet to piece
- Day by day
- Just the record
Field
Pin a tree with photos, a guess at the species, and a short note, shared with other carvers.
- On the map
- A guess at the species
- Notes from any carver
Birch, cherry, maple, alder, walnut, apple. Green or seasoned. Whatever the log turned out to be.
The species list is shared, with genus and family behind each name, so a note in your journal and a pin on the map point at the same tree. When a name is missing, suggest it, and it goes to the list for everyone.
