Description
Description
A wooden manta ray automaton that turns flowing, measured motion into a 30–60 second reset. The compact base keeps the mechanism discreet so all you notice is a calm glide—a small ritual of focus for your desk or shelf.
Behind the Product
Shaped by balance and restraint, this piece invites a brief, screen-free pause whenever you need clarity. Let the manta ray’s steady cadence help you breathe slower, reset attention, and return to your work with a quieter mind.
Materials
Solid wood construction in North American walnut and European beech, finished with eco-friendly wax oil. Natural grain and tone variations, plus fine hand-finishing marks, are part of its character.
Craft Process
Studio-made in small batches and hand-polished for a warm, smooth touch. The internal linkage is tuned for lifelike, low-friction motion and long-running stability.
Power: built-in 400 mAh rechargeable battery; USB-C charging (cable included).
Dimensions (overall): 24 cm * 24 cm * 18 cm (9.4 in * 9.4 in * 7.1 in). Weight: Approx. 0.9 kg (including packaging). Package size may vary by batch.
Handmade Character
Each piece shows unique wood grain, small color transitions, and subtle tool or polishing traces. Minor differences in motion tempo are normal and make every object one-of-a-kind.
Care Note
Keep away from direct sun and heat/AC vents; ideal indoor RH 40–60%. Wipe with a soft dry or slightly damp cloth - no soaking, abrasives, alcohol, or solvents. Wax-oil finish: refresh 1–2x/year with clear wood wax oil and buff. For indoor use on a stable surface; do not pull wings/rods; keep away from liquids and from children/pets. USB-C (5V) charging; don’t operate while charging; if stored long-term, top up the battery about every 3 months.

Handmade, Selectively
Alongside design-driven objects, we also present select handmade works in small batches—crafted with care and meant to be memorable gifts.
From Raw Wood to Ocean-Calm Motion
Each manta ray begins as solid walnut and beech, cut from real logs and brought to a working craft bench, not a factory line. The body is hand carved and finely sanded, then sealed with eco-friendly wax oil so every curve feels warm and organic. The base is machine-cut for structural precision, but every gear, rod, and joint is hand-fitted, adjusted, and test-run until the glide feels smooth and lifelike. Made in small batches, each piece carries its own grain, color, and tiny tool marks – the quiet proof that your automaton is a studio artwork, not a mass-produced gadget.
First Use Guide: Charging & Touch Power Button
For the best first-time experience, please fully charge your manta ray sculpture before turning it on. Connect it to a low-current USB power source (such as a computer USB port or a charger with output ≤0.5 A) and charge for about 2 hours. During charging, the brass touch button on the front will not start the sculpture—this is a normal protection design. After it is fully charged and unplugged, a light touch on the brass button will power it on; touch again to turn it off. Each full charge can usually support about 3–4 hours of use. Please do not use high-power fast-charging adapters, and do not operate the sculpture while it is plugged in, to protect the internal mechanism and battery life. If you touch the button and nothing happens, simply recharge for 2 hours and try again.

This was bought for my daughter—our whole family is crazy about diving, and the moment I saw it, I knew I had to get it right away! She absolutely loves it! I'm planning to get the narwhal design for myself, and if they ever release a shark version, I'd definitely buy it! But this manta ray design is truly flawless—Folkmake is definitely worth recommending.

This is a Christmas gift for my grandson, so it's still carefully tucked away in its box. I must say, it's quite exquisite. I can hardly wait to give it to him right now. Highly recommend the seller folkmake—excellent service!
