## About
A still room, no draft, elbows resting on the table, a pendulum hanging an inch above the center of the board. Then you ask, and you wait for the swing.Concentric gold arcs sweep across this round board of pale birch plywood, marking out Yes, No and Maybe in a clean serif hand, with a full alphabet ring and the numbers zero through nine around the outer edge. A matte varnish keeps the pendulum's tip from catching, the edges are sanded rather than left sharp, and the board ships flat rather than rolled, so the surface stays true over years of use. Each one is checked for a level, unwarped sit before it leaves the workshop, since a board that rocks will answer for itself.Boards like this descend from an older dowsing practice, a swinging weight said by old custom to answer through direction rather than words, adapted so the swing could point to a letter. Unlike a talking board, it has no planchette and no shared touch: only the swing of a single pendulum.DetailsSize: 20 centimeters across, light enough to rest on two open palmsMaterial: pale birch plywood under a matte varnishPrinting: warm gold inkHow to useSet the board on a steady table, rest your elbows rather than your wrists, and let the pendulum hover an inch above center before asking. Spell out longer answers letter by letter, patiently.A tool best used alone, in a quiet room.
