oak buttons

These button are hand crafted from a fallen branch of a old local oak tree. instead of just rotting away this branch has got a new lease of life. the unique spalting patterns on these buttons are particularly nice because by chance a star shape has occurred in the centre.
perfect for a number of craft projects like scarves, books, hats, coats ect.

the 6 buttons are 1 inch wide aprox'. i use no stains or dyes, they are sealed with linseed oil to bring up the natural grain of the wood and sanded at least 6 times with a lair of shellac coating every time to achieve an ultra smooth satin finish.
