Mini Sapele Pocket Pendulum Board with Geometric Design

My geometric design on a little piece of richly coloured sapele. This handmade, palm-sized pendulum board turns a sawmill offcut into a compact piece for personal practice, with a braided jute cord so it can hang from a bag or double as a decoration.

From sawmill offcut to pocket board

A lot of the wood I work with comes from offcuts from sawmills, flooring work and carpenters. The sapele 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.

Sapele’s warm reddish-brown colouring and distinctive grain give each disc its own character. Natural variations in colour, grain and markings are part of working with these individual pieces of timber.

My original geometric design

The laser-printed multi-geometric artwork brings repeating forms together with a simple layout for pendulum work and reflection. Enjoy the pattern as a visual focus for your own practice, or simply as a decorative design against the wood’s natural 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. Treat responses as part of your own reflective practice, rather than verified facts or predictions.

Small enough to take along

The circular disc fits comfortably in your palm and slips into a pocket, pouch or bag. Keep it in a portable altar kit, pack it for a retreat or use it when space is limited at home.

A small hook eye holds the braided jute cord, which can be used to 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.

Care

Wipe gently with a dry soft cloth. Avoid soaking, prolonged damp and abrasive cleaners. Keep the wood and jute away from flames and hot incense ash. Check the cord and hook eye before hanging, and avoid pulling or snagging the cord when attached to a bag.
