I work with wood in my workshop in Istanbul. The lathe, hand tools and a CNC router share the same bench: I design on the computer, find the form on the lathe and finish the surface by hand.

Most of the wood I use is local: olive from pruning, felled garden walnut, mulberry. Every piece carries a serial number, and its record on this site holds its material, its story and how to look after it.
