I drew these on a quiet afternoon, thinking about the tools that are the essence of the bagarstuga [bakers’ cottage] — worn smooth by years of flour and dough. A randkavel and kruskavel for rolling the soft rye dough. A spjälka for flipping the shaped loaves. A wide bunke where dough rises slowly. The fjöla, ready to slide bread into the heat. And the simple degskrapa, scraping, folding, dividing.
Tools that ask for nothing, but carry the stories of every loaf they’ve helped bring to life.
