Handcrafted Pendant from Broken Bow Piece | African Padauk & Zhe Wood Fusion #handmade #diy #art

This handcrafted pendant carries a story of rebirth. It was once part of a wooden bow — broken during testing, yet too beautiful to discard. Instead of letting it fade away, I decided to give it a second life. The piece combines African Padauk and Jichi wood (Zitan-like texture), two contrasting materials that weave together a deep red and warm brown tone. Under light, the colors shift subtly, revealing the calm strength hidden within the wood. Every curve, every polish, is a quiet conversation between loss and creation — between what was destroyed, and what was reborn.
