Materials
Every piece from Oathbound & Ash begins with carefully selected materials. The leather and hardwoods used throughout the workshop are chosen not only for their appearance, but also for their durability, character, and performance.
Natural materials tell a story. Grain patterns, figure, texture, color variation, and other unique characteristics ensure that no two pieces are exactly alike. Rather than treating these features as imperfections, they are embraced as part of what makes handcrafted work unique.
From premium leathers to exotic and domestic hardwoods, each material is selected with the finished piece in mind. Different leathers influence flexibility, feel, and appearance, while different woods contribute their own weight, grain, color, and personality.
