Bondage should be bespoke as well as being beautiful. I have been spending some time making a set of small stocks out of wood over the past few days. I finished them yesterday, expecting an opportunity to use them this weekend which failed to materialise due to circumstances.
The first attempt had to be improved upon by enlarging the wrist apertures so I fitted a strip of oak to the bottom half. This gave just enough of a gap to allow the wrists to be either flat or vertical. The holes are oval rather than round, and cutting them into the wood was not an easy thing due to the complex nature of the angles and the need for soft corners for comfort.
I have been thinking of making items like this to order for a long time now, and I will be setting up another blog to complement this one, called "DarkRoomFurniture". It is my intention to make small items like fiddles and other bondage items.
