LV-5135 Coffeewood Heart Charm, Keychain, Wedding, Valentine Gift-HAND CARVED

$ 28.00


This is a pretty heart shaped keychain attachment made out of Coffeewood (Coffea arabica)A bi-product of old coffee plantations in Indonesia, this wood is fun to carve.  Except inclusions, it is very fine grain with suble figure.  Beside threading wood, coffee (the drink) is another of my addictions.  If coffee is your cup of…tea, say hello to this timber, the mother of coffee. The Vietnamese knows how to make killer coffee, the kind that put Starbuck to shame and keep you excited/jittering for larger part of the day after drinking a small cup).

For a story about these wooden hearts, visit my blog:

The heart was cut free-hand and then hand sanded to a smooth, contoured surface, with just an oil/wax finish. It is equipped with antique bronze hardware, ready to dangle. Due to this manual process, each heart is unique. Also due to this manual process, I do not offer hearts very often. It's too much exercise for me with all that sanding and polishing! But I know, a natural, simple, meaningful, unique heart is hard to find, so here is a collection for your enjoyment. It is also good to carry a piece of real wood with you just in case you need to "knock on wood" to prevent jinxing yourself, since nowadays, with all those "alternative" materials, finding a piece of real wood could be a challenge. Great as unique wedding favors, and, of course, it is a perfect gift for that special someone who hold the key to your heart!
