Materials: sustainable wood slice, paint, hemp string, a love of birds
No trees are ever damaged in the making of tour products. Each ornament I make is from a fallen tree limb. Either fallen on my property, or foraged on one of our hikes through the forest. Hence our company name, Forage :)
The ornament is sliced from the branch and sanded in three steps before I wood burn an organic design onto it. Each image is done free hand, so no two are exactly alike. Finished with a water based poly, for a satiny smooth finish. The finish is also essential to prevent cracking or damage to your wooden keepsake.
Ornament size is approximately 2.5-3" Diameter
Naturally occurring imperfections are present in every piece of wood. Nothing is perfect, but that's what we love about Nature! We are currently using maple for our ornaments.
Let's plant trees together! Forage will contribute a portion of every sale to the National Forest foundation
