Koka-Bora Creations

I am primarily a self-taught woodworker who gained majority of my knowledge through the trial and 'terror' method. I prefer experimentation over formal training as any mishap becomes a creative opportunity. My preference is using domestic and exotic hardwoods in their natural state and colour. My latest experiments have been into resin casting that will enhance or focalize the wood imperfection as well as allow me to use new raw materials such as pine cones or seed pods.

I started the woodworking venture in 2006 focusing on custom made furniture. I have created bathroom vanities, chest of drawers, and blanket boxes. However, as time progressed I shifted my focus to more personal items that can be used daily. That’s when I discovered the writing instruments: wooden bodied pencils; rollerball, fountain, and ballpoint pens. 

I recently acquired my first machine that includes CNC, Laser engraves and 3D printer. Lots of opportunities for learning and development await.
