What Makes It Uncommon

Small, deliberate cuts slowly reveal intricate geometric patterns hidden within the wood. Inspired by a 5,000-year-old carving tradition from the mountain valleys of Afghanistan, this hands-on workshop introduces makers to Nuristani chip carving using a chisel and mallet rather than knives. With beginner-friendly guidance and authentic hand tools, each carefully placed strike transforms a simple alder box into a beautifully textured work of craftsmanship.

  • Includes a pre-recorded digital workshop with step-by-step instruction from master carver Ahmad Khalid Rauofi.
  • Teaches traditional Nuristani chip carving techniques using controlled chisel cuts and geometric pattern layouts.
  • Kit includes a custom-made round alder wooden box, straight flat carving chisel, rubber mallet, and printed Setareh star pattern.
  • Designed for beginners learning foundational carving and tool-handling skills.
  • Creates one carved alder wooden box measuring 6cm in diameter.
  • Materials to have at home include a compass, ruler, safety glasses, and protective mat or towel.
  • Made in California.
