A little oak board with a new purpose and a pattern of its own. This handmade, palm-sized pendulum board pairs my original multi-geometric design with the natural character of oak, finished with a braided jute cord for carrying or decorative display.
From sawmill offcut to pocket board
A lot of the wood I work with comes from offcuts from sawmills, flooring work and carpenters. The oak for these boards comes from a sawmill that cuts timber for larger projects. I buy the offcuts in bulk and turn the smaller pieces into pocket pendulum boards, adding the design with a laser printer.
Oak’s distinctive grain, knots and natural variations in colour and markings give each disc its own character. These smaller pieces of timber become something useful and decorative, with their individual details still part of the finished board.
My original geometric design
The laser-printed artwork brings repeating geometric forms together with a simple layout for pendulum work, reflection and personal practice. Enjoy it as a visual focus for your own practice or simply appreciate the pattern against the wood’s grain.
Around the centre are four response points: Yes / No / Maybe / Can’t Answer. The “Can’t Answer” option leaves room for uncertainty rather than forcing every question into a yes-or-no response.
Place the board on a stable surface for use with your pendulum. Approach responses as part of your own reflective practice, rather than verified facts or predictions.
For your pocket, bag or display
The circular disc fits comfortably in your palm and slips into a pocket, pouch or travel bag. Keep it in a portable altar kit, pack it for a retreat or use it where space is limited at home.
A small hook eye holds the braided jute cord, so you can hang the board from a bag or display it as a decoration between sessions. Wrap it in your own cloth or tuck it into a pouch when carrying to help protect the surface.
Optional pendulum
Need a pendulum too? Add a Simple Starter Pendulum (£5) to your basket alongside your board. Already have a favourite? You can use your own. Pendulum sold separately.
