Why Mansonia-Kauri?
The woods balance each other out here. The Mansonia is lighter than usual (golden vibe). Since Kauri is naturally heavier, using it for the thin arm offsets the design’s natural weight difference. The result: a rock-solid rotation in a feather-light package.
The design: Model Athena
Named after the goddess of wisdom and craft.
The lines of the Athena are softer than the Artemis. Because this model is balanced exactly to the physics of the wood, it spins more stably than you’d expect from such a lightweight tool.
The details
- The Shaft: Luxe walnut with a smart taper to keep your single in place.
- The Finish: Natural hardwax oil. The contrast between matte Mansonia and glossy Kauri is pure tactile ASMR.
- Sustainability: I keep an eye out for the best, legally obtained pieces of wood for my studio in Hoorn.
