Apricot Tree
Dimensions: 13L x 9W x 1.25H

In Korea, the Apricot Tree blooms in late winter, after surviving brutal snow and chilling temperatures. The blooms symbolize hope and perseverance during a time of struggle. The tree blossoms were thought to be a symbol of a strong and honest mind, which is why it appears often in Korean poetry and paintings. Namu Home Goods artist Han Donghun made an oval tray or catchall from the Apricot Tree wood and hand chiseled ripples and a scalloped edge. The tray is finished in Linseed Oil. 

Note: Namu Home Goods GIFT SHOP item. This piece is not gallery-quality, but instead for everyday use and enjoyment. 

Care: Safe for dried food. Wipe with a damp cloth and wipe dry. Do not submerge in water.

Han Donghun Woodwork

These days, he still feels like he doesn’t know much about wood (even after a decade).

Han Donghun majored in graphic design and his first corporate job was a furniture design company. He personally tried woodworking after working a couple years as a graphic designer and found the most enjoyment from whittling wood. It’s been 10 years since he started woodworking and currently works out of his studio in Busan. He teaches woodworking at times as well. When he was young, he liked to work with his hands, to draw and making things. He made his decision then to do something creative.He needs to always be moving his hands and even when its vacation, he likes to go to his studio to work. These days, he still feels like he doesn’t know much about wood (even after a decade) and so he is still learning as he works. He’s been at it because it is still fun.
