LV-4330 Masur Birch Wooden Heart Shaped Charm, Keychain, Wedding Favor-HAND CARVED

LV-4330 Masur Birch Wooden Heart Shaped Charm, Keychain, Wedding Favor-HAND CARVED

$ 25.00


This is a pretty heart shaped keychain attachment made out of Masur Birch (Betula alba) . Birch is the national tree of Finland and Russia. It is also one of the sacred tree of the Druids tradition, representing inception, birth of new life. But this is no ordinary birch, the Masur is a unique figuring in the wood that resemble burl or birds eye in maple. The random dark streaks and the shimmering of this wood is always a visual treat.


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!
