Wood Turning
Simple elegant designs. Form and fuction. Each piece is handmade and unique. Natural finishes include Tung oil, Walnut oil, Carnauba wax, and Beeswax
Candles
Our candles are made from 100% Beeswax. Tapered candles are hand dipped 26 times. We use square braid cotton wicks for wonderful light and burn time.
Soap
As with all our goods. Our soap is handmade with simple ingredients. Coconut oil, Shea butter, lye, and Charcoal. All of our soap is unscented.
Writing & Philosophy
Knos's intellectual interest lies in philosophy and religion. He spent his early years studying the works of others; ultimately rejecting established thought and developing his own. The foundation of which is-
"There is nothing to discover. No truth to find. No path to follow. No rules to adhere to. No effort will help you. No thought will lead you. Give up, for you are already there."
He continues to explore our collective experience through writing and is currently working on a novel that incorporates his ideas and illustrates how it would look if a society based its infrastructure on these fundementals.
Acrylic Painting
As of 2025 Knos is exploring the art of Acrylic painting. He has fallen in love with the medium and is building a collection that he hopes to soon share.
