The wooden serviette holder with engraving is part of our spirit animal series. We all have an animal that is close to our hearts. I am a cat person, small, big, wild and the house varieties but my spirit animal is actually a bear. So the first serviette holder is actually in the form of a bear.
There is a message to me from me on the back of the large bear. This area is your canvas for a personalized message. Gifts can make us smile for many years but if you add the hand written message to a gift, it becomes a memory. When you receive the package, it looks like the picture below:
The box contains the base and two panels that slots into the base. These slots are both 150 mm long and 4,2 mm wide. The panels are 3 to 4,2 mm wide and between 60 to 100 mm high. This gives 4 areas that can be carved with an image. The sizes of the 2 panels are different. When you decide where each image must be, add a couple of drops of glue in the slots and insert the images.
This is for easy removal of serviettes but they are not assembled when you receive the box. The way you assemble the serviette holder is unique to you! The serviette holder take both small and large serviettes because the sides are not the same size.
The serviette holder is hand finished and made from natural oak supplied within Russia. Oak is a course grain wood and thus create a distinct patterns. The item is varnished to protect the wood. The items is oak colored (Light/medium brown) and over time the wood will become darker brown. This is the nature of oak. Please note that natural wood does have small flews and we focus on including these natural characteristics in the items.
Serviette holder dimensions:
- The base is 150 by 50 mm and between *20 to 30 mm thick and
- The large engraving is 100 mm wide,
- 3 to 5 mm thickness for the oak engraving and
- The overall height of 130 to 140 mm.
*The main reason for variation's in thickness is due to us using unprocessed raw planks, these planks changes dimensions during drying, bend and deform. We then produce a oak plank of different thickness
