職人さんのアトリエで、丁寧に教えてもらいながらアレンジBOXを作ることができました。大学生の娘と一緒に体験したのですが、それぞれ全く違うアレンジになりあれこれお互いのアレンジの話をしながらあっという間の時間でした。 MOKUKAは以前から知っていましたが、職人さんが木から花をひとつひとつ作られている姿を見ることができて素晴らしい技術だなと感じました。 MOKUKAからする木の香りも素敵です。 家の玄関に飾っています。 とても楽しい時間だったので友人にも勧めたいと思います。

[Rough flow] (1) Determine the size to cut (2) Cut with an electric jigsaw machine (3) File it! First of all, work ①. Decide the size to cut while consulting with your dominant hand and taste. Place a non-patterned pattern on the selected tree and make a draft for cutting with a pencil. After cutting straight lines and curves with a jigsaw machine, polish the entire surface with sandpaper and finish by removing the surface. You can use a heat pen to add text and illustrations to each work. Finally, make a hole for the string to pass through, and pass the leather string to complete!
