Bodark is also called Osage Orange or Bois d’arc, “bow-wood.” This gorgeous orange wood was commonly used to make archery bows. I collected some Bodark from a family friend’s ranch in Texas where this piece came from. The leather cord winds through the piece with a thick brass top plate which measures 3 cm.

• 1.5 mm leather cord, adjustable length

• Wood is finished with a 100% natural tung oil
