Mr. S, who ordered a watch case from Seoul Bird last year, visited our store again.
Now they are considering a watch tray.
Yes, when the watch case was delivered.
Now a clock tray! Mr. S said.
Well, I look forward to showing you what watches and lays we have for you.
A short break from home
For Mr. S. who came to our store this time
We delivered this kind of curly maple wood last year.
And after delivery.
We also received a picture from Mr. S!
Thank you very much.
These images with the clocks stored in them are really helpful.
It is easy to understand the size of the case, and it is also suitable for customers who are considering various sizes of watch cases.
I have heard that you are very helpful.
Thank you very much.
Actually, Mr. S., I'm on business.
We have customers who travel to every possible country.
Again, I just returned from the US,
You are here at a moment in between.
In three to four months, we'll be overseas again.
We appreciate your time.
Special feeling created by carefully selected "materials
In Seoul Bird,
We have a wide variety of scrap materials generated when manufacturing watch cases.
This is how we stock it.
Since it is scrap wood, the length and thickness are uneven.
Please forgive the seemingly disorganized appearance.
We immediately asked Mr. S. what he would like to do.
He immediately replied, "It's black persimmon wood.
Perhaps you have been quite well-prepared since you have been working in the U.S.
Oh, by the way, I've been a customer of Soulbird.
There is a member of the "Antarctic Wintering Party."
That customer also came to the store right after returning to Japan.
We delivered a watch case and a watch tray made of "Kurokaki wood".
You may have visited the Soulbird web site from Antarctica.
Kurokaki wood is a well-known high-grade wood.
However, it is quite rare for the average family to see it.
Kurokaki woodwork can also be found in Shosoin.
It is not likely to exist near you unless you are a tea ceremony family and also a person of considerable family background.
Kurokaki wood is such a material.
Drying in water in fresh water and special drying processes are required to
Kurokaki wood in good condition is probably quite rare.
Good quality black persimmon wood that does not have
Depending on how the grain appears
It is also a pounding tree species that is said to be worth more than cash.
Sorry for the wild expression.
"I'm going to make something good!" S. who says, "I'm going to make something good!
We will show you various grains of kurokaki wood.
Kurokaki wood pattern
Various patterns (grains) appear in kurokaki wood.
When the level of grain cannot be fully expressed by simply saying "mokume," the wood is also called moku (杢).
From black-and-white clearly grained individuals
Even intense ink painting-like grains are present.
In a black persimmon wood watch case to be sold at Soulbird.
Many of you may be wondering, "Why are the prices so different for the same size?" I am sure that many of our customers have wondered why the prices are so different even though the sizes are the same.
How carefully did this undergo underwater drying?
And what kind of "wooden" appeared is the key point.
Some customers prefer "monotonous wood grain", while others prefer
Some customers prefer "complex grains."
Among them, the intricate grain that looks like a peacock spreading its wings is called "peacock grain.
It is considered to be the most prized and high-end material.
However, this judgment is only in the professional sense.
Some customers may say, "It's a geometric pattern, a little ..... in some cases.
Therefore, I think it would be better to give priority to the "wooden tree of your choice".
And I introduced this kind of tray material to Mr. S.
Some woods have a complex and dynamic grain, while others have an understated and quiet beauty.
In addition, we carefully select materials, taking into consideration their texture and smoothness to the touch, as well as the image of the cross section when cut.
We laid out a number of pieces of kurokaki wood and worked with Mr. S to determine the expression of the grain and characteristics of the wood,
This is it! We have selected a special bottle that we are sure is the one.
You have chosen
This way!
When a watch case is made of this wood
This is a grade that would be ridiculously expensive!
Because this image is in its bare state,
After lumbering and polishing, painting is done.
A considerable grade of kurokaki trays will be produced.
I am looking forward to the production.
And with the GS that was being today!
The moist, oily texture and exquisitely contrasting grain are attractive.
Kurokaki because its expression determines the character of the finished product,
We take great care in the selection process.
And this one, too, is waiting to be given a new life in the hands of our customers.
This process of material selection is the very essence of “the crystallization of our commitment” and “the experience of our commitment”.
Discernment is essential in the selection process.
Not just a tray to put a clock on.
To be passed down from generation to generation,
We, the staff, are very much looking forward to producing "clock trays" without any hesitation.
We hope that the product will bring a comfortable luxury to your life, and not just be a tool.
Backpack.
Mr. S selected a special piece from among several pieces of kurokaki wood.
I suddenly looked at my backpack and saw an item: .....
Wooden plate made of Hananashi burl wood.
This is an accessory for a handbag to be given at the time of delivery to the store.
They said it was from last year's delivery of Curly Maple.
The Soul Bird plate was used with great care,
What a great story about how he is flying around the world with it attached to his backpack.
We felt deep joy that our manual labor was a beloved part of the company.
Thank you very much.
Thank you very much, Mr. S!
Then a few months.
A superb watch tray is completed.
Extremely rare black persimmon watch tray
Courtesy of Mr. S,
We received a solid production period!
Here is the completed clock tray!
The level of grain of the kurokaki wood selected for this project is very high.
It is a very high-end watch tray.
Mr. S who just came back from overseas also visited us.
This is the customary commemorative photo.
The interior leather is finished in beige K133 Mediterranean pastured lamb.
Dust may not be noticeable.
And we also did a photocatalytic treatment.
It kills two birds with one stone by cleanly sanitizing clocks that have been used for a day.
Now that we have the watch case and watch tray
I think it's a relief, but I'm sure we'll be able to add more items as they become available.
We would be happy to hear from you.
Thank you very much for your continued support!
