III. THE MATERIAL

The grain
in motion.

Goldregen (Laburnum). Warm golden sapwood adjacent to olive, orange-brown or purplish-brown heartwood. An unusually strong chromatic difference between the light exterior and darker core; rich natural lustre.

In this handle, natural golden streaks and darker grain lines define the composition without additional ornament.
