He works with over 20 species of wood: cherry, oak, walnut, and others, each chosen for its color, grain, and the way it responds to the lathe. Because the wood is natural and the turning is done by hand, each piece has its own character. The form you receive is the only one of its kind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 4px;\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Turned one by one on a wood lathe\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0018\/1878\/7915\/files\/1_01b19226-d11a-4c06-87e7-7a56eba03739_1024x1024.jpg?v=1702020941\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.8; color: rgba(2,9,18,0.65); margin: 0 0 24px; text-align: right;\"\u003eTurned one by one on a wood lathe\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.9; color: rgba(2,9,18,0.75); margin: 0 0 16px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe names are part of it\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach design is named by Shohei's wife Mirai — after the silhouettes the forms suggest.

Shohei tested many before choosing IKEDA — a domestic Japanese manufacturer whose cast-iron burrs are used by professional chefs. He wrote them what he called \"a love letter\" asking to use their mechanism in his mills. The cast-iron burr is adjustable: tighten the top screw for a fine powder, loosen it for a coarse crack. The resistance when you grind — that particular sound and feel — is part of why people keep reaching for it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 4px;\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Grinding mechanism by IKEDA\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0018\/1878\/7915\/files\/2023-11-28109-1_1024x1024.jpg?v=1701936662\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.8; color: rgba(2,9,18,0.65); margin: 0 0 24px; text-align: right;\"\u003eGrinding mechanism by IKEDA — adjustable coarseness\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.9; color: rgba(2,9,18,0.75); margin: 0 0 16px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEvery design starts as a drawing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eShohei draws every form before he turns it.
