Replicating the texture carved into a block of ash wood onto a sheet of enamel-coated silver, the dial of the Model 3 Method serves up an interesting play of texture and light.

My brother is a fine carpenter and has integrated this texture into the handles of cooking utensils and other items I have the pleasure of using around my house on a daily basis. On the one hand, I have a deep appreciation for the craft that inspired this new release from anOrdain. On the other, I am disappointed they opted to use laser ablation as the penultimate step toward achieving the same texture in silver.
