Certified walnut wood ear gauges made for stretched lobes. Walnut is warm, lightweight, and visibly alive in the grain: each pair carries small differences in line, tone, and surface movement. The wood is polished smooth so it sits comfortably against the skin. Keep it dry, avoid shower or pool wear, and refresh the surface occasionally with a small amount of mineral oil. This is the catalogue anchor for Wenu Mapu wood pieces: grounded, tactile, and made for daily presence.
