Fingerprints

Every tree leaves one.

These prints are pulled by hand from wood slabs before they become furniture. The slab is processed using shou sugi ban — an ancient Japanese charring technique that opens the grain and burns the surface down to its essential structure — then painted with ink and pressed directly onto paper. One pass. What transfers is exactly what the wood holds: its rings, its cracks, its knots, the particular way it grew for the decades or centuries it had.

No two impressions are alike, even from the same slab. Pressure shifts. Paint moves. The hand finds a different angle. Each print is unrepeatable — not a reproduction, not an edition, but a direct record of a specific surface at a specific moment.

The slabs that made these prints go on to become tables, benches, and consoles. The print is what the wood left behind before it became something else. You can own both, or either. Some slabs will produce a single print. Some will produce many. All of them are documented here, organized by the wood they came from.

Printed on acid free paper. Each print is one of one. Dimensions and available works vary by slab.
