The Compass

The Compass is a working instrument with Psalm 32:8 hand-engraved on the face. Solid brass, not plated. It arrives in a hand-carved wooden box with a cross on the lid, alongside a pocket chain for daily carry.

The surface is uncoated brass. Over time it takes on the warmth and character of the hands that hold it. Every mark is a mile walked.

Named for the road to Emmaus, where Christ walked alongside two disciples and they did not recognize Him until He broke bread. A reminder that guidance is already present, even when the path feels unclear.
