Weeping Hemlock Coasters (Tyler Arboretum), $8
Weeping Hemlock Coasters (Tyler Arboretum), $8
Handcrafted from a weeping hemlock tree at Tyler Arboretum. Each coaster is unique with an exciting grain pattern. Perfect as hot plate, coaster, etc. Carefully sanded and finished with Betty’s Board Butter (beeswax & food safe mineral oil). Approximately 5.75” long x 3.75-4” wide x 3/8” thick. These coasters are perfectly imperfect with their unique shapes, cracks, holes and some pith which is normal for this type of wood. Our current batch of weeping hemlock does NOT have the bark on the outside. Movement in the wood is normal and considered part of its charm. Clean with a damp cloth. Dry immediately. Re-oil occasionally.
The first photo is our current inventory of coasters.
