iron wood (Tieli wood) from dismantled temples of the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911) and iron parallel bar
man this piece does things to me.
i grew up in the midwest and every summer and fall I had to help my dad cut, haul and stack firewood. soooo many fucking slivers. we had a heating system in the house but we rarely used it, we used a wood burner. completely normal ranch style home and my dad, an ex-marine, sticks a wood burner in it. i still don’t understand.
i both love and hate this piece.
