Abstract Madrone Ornaments (Set)
Enjoy a set of three abstract designs made out of a piece of windfallen native Pacific Madrone (Arbutus menziesii). Pre-threaded with a piece of real leather string for hanging on a tree or garland.
Each piece is between ~1.25 - 2” tall, and is finished with a blend of natural linseed oil and beeswax.
Your set will not look exactly like this—each ornament varies slightly due to its handmade nature and the variation in the wood stock.
PLEASE NOTE: Not a toy; choking hazard. For decoration only.
About Pacific Madrone:
Pacific Madrone (Arbutus menziesii) is a native tree to the Pacific Northwest, typically found near saltwater coasts. Its appearance is uniquely beautiful, because its outer reddish bark peels off in shreds, revealing a chartreuse underlayer. It is a broadleaf tree whose leaves look similar to those of rhodedendron. It often grows in the companionship of Douglas Fir, another ecologically and culturally important native tree to this area. Madrone fruits (in the form of small berries) are favored by several native species of birds. Indigenous peoples in this region have utilized different parts of the madrone tree for food and medicines for thousands of years.
