Sharing a standout piece from my collection: a Phra Phrom (Brahma) statue cast in 1977 (B.E. 2520). The 47-year-old natural patina gives the metal a deep, powerful character. I'm especially impressed by the sharp details of the sacred objects in each hand. In Thai tradition, 2520 was a significant year for several renowned masters' editions. What do you think of the preservation and craftsmanship on this one

I started this project simply because I’m an amulet collector. Most of the silver or stainless steel cases I have are quite heavy for daily wear. I wanted something lighter, so I decided to design and CNC-machine my own teak case—similar to how we use phone cases for protection.

The result is a minimal, lightweight piece made from natural materials. It’s comfortable to wear and keeps the focus on the simplicity of the wood and the amulet itself. Even though it's light, once the case is closed, it provides a very solid and secure fit, keeping the amulet safe while remaining easy to wear. I used a small bit to achieve the precise internal dimensions needed for this snap-fit design.
