Mending The Sacred Cord
- Unit price
- / per
This is a story of a man yearning to reconnect with Mother Earth. He is mending the umbilical cord that binds his heart to hers. She is the source of all life; nothing exists without what she offers. Through her, he feels the presence of his ancestors. He honors those who came before, even though their stories remain unknown. In doing so, he becomes a good ancestor for those yet to come. Listening to the wisdom carried through the ages, he remembers to transform what is broken into something whole, to meet the world's fear and pain with courage, to use his power to disrupt and heal the negative patterns born from our traumas. He knows how to respect women and children, how to serve and protect those in need. He understands that no one is above another, especially the countless other life forms who share this world with us. This man seeks belonging. He fills the void of what has been lost with healing. He remembers to move through life with gratitude.

Care and the handmade promise
Dust gently with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid direct sunlight and high humidity, which can affect the wood over time. Each piece is finished with a protective topcoat, so no oiling, waxing, or additional treatment is needed — simply keep it clean and out of harsh conditions to preserve its natural matte finish.
Because each piece is handmade, small differences in grain, tone, and surface are natural. The variation is the signature of something made by a person, not a machine.
Each order is wrapped by hand and packed to travel safely. Made-to-order pieces typically take 6 to 8 weeks to complete, with larger or more complex pieces taking up to 3 months. You'll receive tracking as soon as it leaves the studio.
All sales on made-to-order and custom pieces are final. If your piece arrives damaged, please contact us with photos within 10 days of delivery, and we'll arrange a repair, replacement, or refund.
