Especially when it comes to Hawaiian koa wood, even if you photograph it, you may find yourself saying, \"I can't see the grain clearly! The 3D effect characteristic of koa is not apparent! This is the state of the wood. We recommend that you visit our store if possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The customer came to the store this time with an eye on the bubinga wood that was in stock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bubinga wood standing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Bubinga wood from Cameroon. It is hard and heavy, and makes a perfect watch case. Despite its mid-level price range for a 10-watch size case,
The wood is listed on the CITES list because it is a \"Rose Wood\".
Since the price of lumber is expected to rise in the future, I think this is the \"right time\" to purchase it.
However, the price is in the middle range when compared to more expensive watch cases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This means that the rarity of this wood is a little less than that of the higher-grade woods. However, as a watch case, it makes a perfect case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, the customer was interested in \"higher grade wood\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Koa wood and black persimmon wood that is already souldout.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
At the Soulbird workshop, most of the time, watch cases made of rare wood are kept in storage. Sold-out watch cases before delivery. These are either custom-made watch cases that have been completed and the interior has not yet been finished, or cases that have been completed up to the interior and are just before delivery. Customers who visit our store can see such cases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Again, they were interested in special material cases such as kurokaki and koa.
When you actually see a completed case, you often say, \"This is amazing!\" This is often the case. Cases made from rare materials are by far the most beautiful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For customers who have seen Kurokaki and Koa I see it as a work of art.<\/strong>I was very pleased to hear that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As the creator of the watch case, each watch case has its own special meaning, and we are very grateful for that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After much deliberation over whether to use black persimmon or koa, the decision was made to use koa wood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, the core materials are also very different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Because it is natural, each board has its own characteristics, both good and bad, and unless you can accept that, you will not be able to begin production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Again, it was a difficult choice, as there were many things to pay attention to, such as the grade of the grain, the degree of rotting, cracking, etc. However, we decided to produce a watch case for five watches using this wood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Old-growth Hawaiian koa. The customer also collects vintage Rolexes. His obsession is not limited to watches, but also includes horsehide jackets made by an Italian tannery, custom-ordered shoes that require a three-year waiting list, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For those customers who are so particular, you can do it yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \"This!\" I decided on this board.<\/strong>The best way is to have the product made in the following way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The materials to be used will be decided, and the interior specifications will be determined. The leather to be used, whether or not a soulbird plate will be used, the size of the wrist circumference, and the number of pieces to be stored.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here is the Mediterranean Grazing Lamb Bordeaux that we finally decided on and the customer's vintage Rolex. We'll get all the specs finalized, print out a statement and give it to you, but we're not going to do that. At first, he was not sure about Kurokaki. This time, he decided to use koa wood, but he is also interested in kurokaki wood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Wouldn't it be nice to have a drink while admiring the kurokaki and the koa?\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n What a story! But we often hear this from customers who come to our store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A custom-made product has an unforgettable story to tell before it is completed, Even so, both are quite expensive watch cases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In other words, it is a material of a level that would be difficult for Seoul Bird to produce even if a larger watch case were requested.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I thought they would finally change from \"koa wood\" to \"black persimmon wood\". The result is the French pastured lamb and black persimmon you selected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thank you very much. <\/p>\n\n\n\n However, as a watch case, it is, of course, quite expensive. It is the amount of money that can buy a watch with a well-known name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We, too, will finish a watch case that will not fail to live up to our customer's desire not to have regrets. Thank you very much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The watch case you have ordered will be milled as soon as possible, and the delivery time is expected to be about 4 months. It will take some time, but we will deliver a high quality watch case. <\/p>\n\n\n\nMaterial selection.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The calm atmosphere and high-grade wooden structure that only old trees can provide.
It is a material that makes a definite case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the midst of all this, we are also interested in kurokaki, which was lost at the same time as koa.
<\/p>\n\n\n\nI don't want to regret it.\"<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
I think it would be a good snack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The customer ordered both koa and kurokaki wood, saying, \"I don't want to regret it later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/soulbird.co.jp\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/watchcase_20190121_3.jpg\")
