Birch Eoka⧉

The Birch Eoka upgrades the crude, makeshift pistol by using a recognizable, high-contrast natural material. The wooden stock and handle are carved from a thick branch of birch wood, retaining the tree's iconic papery white bark characterized by dark, horizontal lenticel striations. The barrel is a smooth, unrusted piece of dark gunmetal pipe, securely fastened to the pale wood with clean, tight wire wrappings. The flint-striking mechanism is similarly clean. The striking contrast between the white bark and dark metal gives the primitive weapon a clean, rustic forestry aesthetic.
