He works with a shard of glass, sandpaper and a lot of time, he coaxes the wood finds her secret and encourages wonderfull, organic shapes to light, the lure directly to touch.

Surfaces as smooth and flattering, as can arise only from the hard wood of Africa, if they get into the hands of a real skill and lover of this material.
