Lis Bokt
Lis is the sort of person who can't decide if she is an artist first, or a scientist first. She's both, and approaches everything with that viewpoint. Her art tends to be a little nerdy, and her industrial projects are usually at least a little artistic. This manifests itself in a myriad of ways: using tools and equipment to do woodworking that are generally reserved for large, industrial applications; making art that is exceptionally awesome but uses an algorithm instead of random lines and patterns; woodworking that takes the greatest advantage of grain and nature to showcase the beauty that nature gave us. Not wanting to be limited to any one genre, Lis likes to work in a little bit of everything. Woodworking, metalworking, sewing - the world is simply a giant array of things waiting to be made. During the day she spends her time helping people learn how to build things, how to build things better, and how to have a direct impact on the world around you by making the things you need. See all creations.

While these quirky combinations don't actually form chemical compounds they do look pretty cool. We're looking to experiment with this design, so grab your periodic table and let us know which elements you'd like to see form wooden words.

Made in the US and from recycled materials - that's a big plus in my book.

I vote yes because I like the idea and think they would sell, but I find them difficult to read, they need a darker stain on the letters themselves or something to contrast from the surroundings.

Could probably get it cheaper somewhere else.

Strange - but I'm not sure "in a good way."

Unoriginal. And what would you do for letter combinations that aren't found in the Periodic Table?
