OAKEN STUMP

Hello!

My name is Alexander Leonidov, I am from Moscow.
My Russian friends call me Shurik. :)

Glad to see you here. Please make yourself at home.

I make nice widgets.
Just wanted to brag about them for a while.

My style is "netsuke". I learned it all by myself by copying from photos and casts. Lately my style got quite peculiar, abstract; and also I make netsuke-style bijouterie.

Here's a part of my netsuke collection.

You'll find both replicas and original artwork here.

Just click an item to learn more about it!

Here are samples of my netsuke-style bijouterie.

In making them, I kept up to netsuke principles: an item should look concordant and gripping seen from all viewports; all details have to be elaborated, all surfaces finished thoroughly; all forms elegant...

The items are meant not only for wearing but also for contemplating upon. They give very pleasant feeling to the touch, and relieve from stress also.

Almost all items combine various materials - wood, semi-precious stones, amber, mother-of-pearl, ivory and other bone, silk etc.

Just click an item to learn more about it!

Got interested? You can contact me by e-mail. All the items are for sale, and also you can order an item to be made from your photo or picture. I'll be happy to hear from you.

Yours,
Alexander
