LV-3682  Morroccan Thuya Burl Wooden Heart Charm, Keychain, Wedding Favor-Hand Made

LV-3682 Morroccan Thuya Burl Wooden Heart Charm, Keychain, Wedding Favor-Hand Made

$ 18.00


This is a pretty heart shaped keychain attachment made out of Thuya Burl (Tetraclinis articulata) & Fishtail Oak (Euplassa pinnata) cap. National tree of the island of Malta, Thuya Burls actually grow underground on the roots of Tetraclinis articulata trees. It is also considered something of a national treasure in Morocco. It has the golden brown tone with dark eyes and a pleasant cedar aroma. This is another one from my aromatic timber collection.

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 Valentine. 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. And, of course, it is a perfect gift for that special someone who hold the key to your heart!
