What we make

Hand-carved mahogany and wild olive wood animals, masks and table pieces from the forests behind Diani.

Why we make it

To carry the Wakamba carving tradition forward and make sure each piece carries a name and a story, not just a price.

How it's made

Seasoned fallen hardwoods are carved by hand over days, then oiled with coconut wax -- no stain, no shortcuts.
