— The register

Every board is recorded by hand.

Each piece is numbered, signed beneath in cast brass, and entered into the atelier register with the date of selection, the billet it was drawn from, and the household to which it travelled. We hold the registers — bound in saddle leather — for the lifetime of the atelier.
