Hand-hewn from dense, old-growth teak wood, the column now stands as a sculptural relic of rural craftsmanship and utilitarian beauty. Time and the elements have bestowed upon it a rich, weathered patina, with deep surface erosion and tactile textures that speak to decades of use and exposure. Cracks, worn edges, and subtle traces of hand-tooling all contribute to its quiet, dignified presence. Mounted on a custom black-painted metal stand, the column is elevated from its humble origins to a statement piece—equally at home in a modern interior as it is in a wabi-sabi or rustic setting. Its form is simple yet evocative, holding the spirit of its pastoral past while offering a compelling narrative through its age-worn surfaces and organic character.
