This tray started as a live oak that came down on our property in a storm. We milled it, finished it, and fitted it with sturdy metal bar handles, and the natural edge does the rest.
Live-Edge Serving Tray, $55. One of a kind: the exact tray in the photos is the one you get, and when it's gone, it's gone. A showstopper for anyone who loves to entertain, and custom sizes and engraving are available on request.

Functional art for the table.

Hand-forged in our shop, one at a time.
Copper heart ornament on a twisted copper hanger, $22. The hammered texture catches the light beautifully, on the tree or in a sunny window all year round. No two are ever alike, and this exact one is the only one there is.
