Custom Works
Custom handmade pendants & accessories in fine tonewoods
In our workshop, every piece begins with carefully selected luthier-grade wood — mahogany, korina, flamed maple, olive wood, walnut, swamp ash, and, upon request, okoumé, padauk, purpleheart, Santos rosewood, iroko, bois de rose… or, for a truly exclusive touch, ancient Kauri wood.
A pendant, a keychain, a talisman, or a small accessory — each creation is designed to become a one-of-a-kind object that tells a story: yours.
🔥 What I can create for you / What makes a Dogstar Custom special

Wood selection based on character and mood: rustic, vintage, elegant, mysterious, refined.
🌳 Kauri wood — why it is so precious
Kauri is no ordinary wood. It comes from Agathis Australis logs that, following geological events at the end of the last Ice Age, were buried under layers of mud and peat for tens of thousands of years.
This natural process preserved the wood fibers intact, resulting in a millennial material — between 28,000 and 50,000 years old — with qualities equal to, or even superior to, freshly cut wood.
Kauri combines:
History and mystery — each piece carries a fragment of deep time, a connection to the Earth and distant eras.
Rarity and exclusivity — only a few people have the privilege of owning an accessory made from this material.
Natural beauty — unique grain patterns, resin with warm, almost golden tones, and a patina shaped by time.
Choosing a Kauri accessory means owning a small living work of art, rich in history, depth, and value.
💬 How it works: from concept to a one-of-a-kind piece
Tell me your idea — it can be a symbol, an image, a phrase, or simply an emotion to be transformed into wood.
Together we choose the most suitable wood — from classic luthier tonewoods to the rare ancient Kauri — evaluating grain, visual impact, and meaning.
I prepare a digital engraved preview to show you the design in advance and refine every detail together.
The creation process is entirely handcrafted:
• precision laser engraving for clean, sharp lines
• hand shaping, sanding, and finishing
• natural vegetable oil finish, solvent-free, skin-safe, and designed to preserve the wood’s authentic beauty
In the end, you will receive a unique piece, carefully finished, ready to be worn or gifted as a handcrafted present.
I do not use pre-made templates: every creation is custom-made, designed just for you.
