02Character & specification
Tamo ash is prized for its peanut-shell figure — pockets of swirling grain across an open-pored ground. Smoked to a warm brown, the figure reads as quiet, organic texture.
“A veneer should never hide the tree it came from — it should let you read its whole life in a single leaf.”
