My specialty is woodwork. I try to fuse and harmonize the natural beauty of wood with forming techniques such as wood joinery and turning, and decorating techniques such as inlay and wiped urushi.

Techniques
Wiped lacquer finish
Wiped lacquer (fuki urushi) is a wood-finishing technique consisting of a thin coat of lacquer. The lacquer is applied with a spatula or brush, rubbed in with a cotton cloth, and then wiped away using washi paper or clean fabric. Repeating the process numerous times produces a finish that brings out the wood’s grain and texture.
