About the bag<\/strong>
\nI got the bag when I subscribed to Monocle<\/a> for a year. It\u2019s made of sturdy canvas, has three interior pockets for things like pens and business cards, and a zippered side pocket that\u2019s separate from the main compartment. It\u2019s a nice, elegantly simple tote.<\/p>\n

What’s inside the bag<\/strong><\/p>\n

Postalco A6 Notebook<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0($26)<\/strong>
\nEven though it\u2019s a simple, paper notebook, it exudes a feeling of quality. The cover is made of starched cotton and the spiral binding is offset so that the spine can be labeled. I love the tiny, 1mm grid pattern on each page. Made in Japan.<\/p>\n

Wooden Tape Measure<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0($23)<\/strong>
\nI originally found this tape measure at the old Curiosity Shop in San Francisco. It\u2019s an elegant, compact object that has that rare quality of being simultaneously quite functional and quite beautiful. They\u2019re apparently hard to find these days but I found a supplier in New Zealand.<\/p>\n

Richelieu Hardware Cabinet Pulls<\/strong><\/a>
\nI\u2019m using these cabinet pulls for my upcoming Deck Tray, a modern serving tray that takes its inspiration from old, wooden boats. They\u2019re high-quality, look fantastic, feel amazing in the hand, and come in beautiful finishes like polished chrome and finely-brushed bronze.<\/p>\n

Ryukakusan Herbal Drops<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0($20\/5pk)<\/strong>
\nI found these cough drops randomly once in an Asian supermarket\u2014that\u2019s the best place to find them. They\u2019re a fun, obscure\u2014at least to me!\u2014little treat, have a soothing effect, and are available in delicious flavors like yuzu and kumquat. Also from Japan.<\/p>\n

More About Two Hands Furniture<\/strong>
\nFor those in need of a solidly-built cutting board, orders are currently open for my\u00a0Big Block Cutting Board<\/a>. This is a full-size, edge-grain board made from white birch. Each of the joints in this board are splined, which makes them much stronger and helps prevent splitting. See the photo of the edge of the board in the link to see what a splined joint looks like.<\/p>\n
