🌿 THE RARE WOOD BEHIND THIS ART

Thuya wood (Tetraclinis articulata) grows only in the Atlas
Mountains of Morocco — one of the rarest fragrant woods on Earth.
Its burl grain forms naturally swirling patterns unique to every
single piece. The warm cedar-like scent lingers for years. Roman
emperors once paid fortunes for it. Today, the master craftsmen
of Essaouira carry on this 500-year tradition entirely by hand.
