Objects with a shared story
Bread by Hand
Before the dough is ready, the tools can be set out. An unbleached rattan basket and its cloth liner await proofing, a walnut lame waits to score, and a bench scraper clears the board. Carnelian brings the warm color of a future crust into the scene; petrified wood shows a grain that cannot be rushed; smoky quartz lends a sharp transparent edge. The three clean stones stay dry and separate from food work. The goal is a calm, prepared counter.

The styling notes.
Keep minerals on a distinct dry side surface, away from actual food and tools that contact dough.
Show the basket empty with its real separate liner visible; do not invent dough or a finished loaf.
Show one assembled Zatoba lame only; included spare blades and pine box are disclosed but not styled.
The surface allowance is a styling suggestion. Measure your space and compare each seller’s dimensions. Keep small or sharp stones away from children and pets.
