On the Workbench

A small selection pulled out and set within arm's reach.

What's on the workbench changes with the work. These are the grades and tools we've reached for most often this past month — a dark dewaxed, a button lac that's been moving, a seedlac the bench keeps coming back to, the brush set most practitioners settle on. Not the bestsellers. The shop's own picks, refreshed when the work shifts. If you're new here, this is a fair place to start. If you've been here before, you already know what's worth a second look.
