Grainborn Beluga was shaped from black spruce burl, its grain deep and wide like water lines in motion. From one angle, the form holds something more—soft, rounded, quiet. A shape that calls to mind a whale breaking the surface, still and slow.

The wood holds long, dark cracks—some filled, some left open. They don’t hide the tension that shaped this piece. They carry it. Time is marked here in rings and fractures, in contrast between the smooth interior and weathered shell.

Whale in the Grain is a piece that invites pause—not just to look, but to feel what’s been carried forward.
