Earl
Earl
Earl is the “quiet one” with something to say. He watches. He listens. And when he speaks, it resonates. Inspired by the enigmatic Moai statues of Easter Island, Earl is a tribute to solemn strength, a tiki that seems simple at first glance, but reveals layers of personality the longer you stay with him.
Carved from salvaged oak - rescued from a demolished front yard - Earl carries history in every grain. His rough surface is no accident: it’s meant to stay wild, rich with valleys and texture that make the stain dance like water.
It took 350 hours to bring Earl to life. Fitting the glowing tubes into his “nose piercings” pushed design to the edge, squeezing circuits into impossible places, and finding harmony between raw character and high-performance sound.
Earl may look stoic, but light him up, and you’ll hear the soul beneath the surface.
