Material Selection: Working with large panels of pine, alder, ash, and oak, Naomi selects her wood based on its Janka scale hardness and tactile feedback. The result is a medium that commands a physical presence while responding intimately to every carved stroke.

The Carving: Drawing directly onto the surface, Naomi carves the initial layers to establish depth. The work is refined through a deliberate process of building texture, letting chisels and gouges leave their distinct marks in the wood.

The Finish: A stain and seal are applied, providing protection while allowing the natural grain to breathe. The final work is not a mere depiction of nature, but its rhythm captured and paused in wood.
