12.12 Rakiura + Oban – Coffee and Jade
Tomorrow, two cruise ships will dock. In Oban, almost everything is closed and preparing for the onslaught.
Luckyly my companion for the day is very well informed and knows the open coffee places. Around ten o clock we arrive at the wonky corrugated iron hut, which houses the workshop oft he local Jade carver
Dave is bearded and beary,
we are hustled through the carvings on offer: „there, look what you want to carve, nothing complicated eh!“I’ll tell you if you can make it“
The ice is finally thawing (a bit) after hiss mall curly dog decides to like us. Only after this are we allowed to choose the pieces we want to work with.
While we ave a look and through the blanks, he starts to talk about origin and composition of the jade. He fondles the pieces and his eyes are shining as for a few moments he forgets that he doesn’t like humans.
Afterwards he is brusquely showing us the mashines, introducing us to the mossy and dripping tools we will encounter in his workshop.
He carefully chose the fitting cutting tool fort eh chosen pieces and within just a few minutes we had carved the rough outline into the workpiece.
That‘s where the real work started. Electric carvers are to hungry, ao all the polishing needs to be done by hand. Smoothing with sandstone, and polishing, polishing and even more polishing with paper and sponge.
We were only allwoed to use the next grain, if the master deemed it good enough.
While we were working Dave got rid of potential customers. I believe he hates people in his workshop. Since the workshop is not clearlydemarcated, but growing into the shop part. Everybody encroaches upon the holy places
Since now we are dirty and dusty and diligently smoothing we are being tolerated, even getting some coffee.
We get to talking and Dave proudly shows pictures of his prior work on the lord oft he rings and tells us exciting but somewhat disconnected stories from his life and of cutting and carving, bones and stones.
The half day goes by in a breeze leaving us with a lot of memories and absolute unique jade pendants.
