The study

A study in proportion, balance and daily ritual. A single cylinder, cut once at the collar — nothing tapers, nothing decorates. The brass line marks where the object turns.

The three finishes
The Mill in white oak, full height

Height was settled by the hand, not the table. It sits low enough to grip near the top and turn without lifting the wrist.

Oak

For weight and grain. It records where it has been set down.

Section drawing at the collar — awaiting drawing

Brass

For the parts a hand finds. Brushed, then left alone.

Mechanism in hand — awaiting photography

Steel

Where the work is done. Hardened, and built to be replaced once.

In development. The Mill arrives Winter 2027.
