Handmade Tree of Life- Hammered w/Black Stonewash

  The Tree of Life is my take on the classic design of the "Lincoln" or "T-Handle". With the Tree of Life, the main differences that you'll find are going to be a piece that is multiple radius' put together; THERE ARE NO STRAIGHT RUNS. Everything is contoured, just like your hand. 

  This ToL has been handmade from 1/2" thick solid brass stock. Since these are drawn up by hand, no two pieces will ever be the same. The crowns (outer tops) have been hand shaped using a round file, versus using a power tool to cut in. You get a contouring from the flat of one face to the next. The finger stalls have been cut at an industry standard 1" diameter, then hand filed to not only open up the stall and create an elliptical shape, but to add a contouring that will literally seat the fingers, allowing them to REST in an anatomically correct position. Each finger stall partition has been "gullied" or dipped out to ensure that the employed fingers can come as naturally close to each other as possible. The "trunk" or shank leading down to the brace is what I would consider a medium width. Wide enough to add weight and stability, but not so heavy that it weighs the pocket down, or affects feel and application. The palm brace is a slight, yet beautiful curve, making it so that it places itself within the palm without forcing it to sit where it needs to. 

  Each face of this Tree of Life has been hand hammered using a large peen. The process created an array of indentations that give the appearance of a rock-like texture. One face is deeply engraved with my 3Leaf branded Skull and the phrase, "No Luck Needed". These are markings that DO NOT GO ON EVERYTHING, AND CANNOT BE REQUESTED on a custom making. As these were Blade Show offerings, anything that came back is now open to you for your enjoyment. The opposing side of this ToL has been engraved with my OG (original) logo and "handmade". On the bottom, is the 2025 year marking (fireman's axe). 

  After sandblasting, this was blackened and stonewashed. This process gave a bright luster to the high points of the piece, while keeping a darker appearance to the deeper indentations and areas. Odie's Oil was applied to help protect the finish.
