Netsuke Carving Blanks Huon Pine
Netsuke Carving Blanks Huon Pine
Netsuke are small, often intricately detailed carved objects that were traditionally used to secure the strings of inro boxes and hanf those boxes, bags or baskets from the belt of one's robes.
Today, netsuke is a form favoured by carvers for it's manageable scale, open design possibilities and scope for detail and expression.
We at JTA have offered blanks for specific netsuke designs for some years, however, these simple blocks are intended to offer you, the carver, the raw material and nothing more. Supply your own design, and discover what is waiting for you in these beautiful timber blanks.
Huon pine is a beautiful carving timber that we have used in our spoon blanks for many years. However, the Huon we are using in these blanks is a tighter grain than we have normally offered. This makes it heavier, harder, and more challenging on the hands. The tradeoff is that it will yield a beautiful piece with tight, intricate grain and a gorgeous golden hue. There are some beautiful netsuke indeed waiting to be unearthed in these pieces.
By giving Australian carvers access to three different species of timber in the appropriate sizes (including a beautiful Aussie native), the appreciation of small, beautifully crafted objects will take even further root in the carving community.
