"I am back with another Calm Carving episode and this time, I carve a bulbous pouring vessel from some incredible black walnut. The walnut was sustainably storm felled from a local park, a few kilometres from there I live and is the perfect canvas for honing in on these techniques.
This particular pouring vessel is the first 'final' from a design and concept period that I have been working towards and I am really happy with the shape.
I made a few playful prototypes before getting to this final and I plucked elements that I liked from them to condense into this piece. I am looking forward to making more of these and producing a batch of them for a project that I will tell you more about in the future. The pieces will be 80ml, perfect for their intended use, but it means that I will have to make sure that each one is to size each time."

Here’s a full start to finish ASMR version of a commission for Foxtrot Uniform — Reconstructing an original pair of ’85 Metallic Blues and reconstructing them into the ultra rare Metallic Purple color-way.
Cleaning and conditioning the leather while maintaining the 37 year “patina”. I replaced old liners, foam, collars, swooshes and tongue. I was unable to reuse the original tongues and collar liners because of wear, as originally planned. These are refitted with the 2021 Jordan Court Purple outsoles that have been dyed in coffee, as well as the original thread, which has been waxed as well.
