**Process **
All of my pieces are oxidized using a liver of Sulphur solution to produce a beautiful patina finish. I then polish my pieces and check them for smoothness. In the final step, I finish them with Renaissance Wax, a museum quality crystalline wax that protects the piece and enhances the artistry.

Palm Root is the fossilized form of the root system of the Indonesian palm. Over millions of years and due to great pressure, the palm root underwent the petrification process wherein each carbon atom is slowly replaced with a silicon atom; this is also known as the agitization process. This results in beautiful intersecting swirls and colors and translucent sections of individual Palm Root specimens that demonstrate the depth and perspective of each piece.
