These wooden buttons were created by my husband Jeff in spalted maple wood. Can you believe how gorgeous this wood is?! With all the sanding and polishing he does to bring out the beauty of the wood, these buttons are so smooth, you'll love the way they feel. He even sanded them smooth around the edges. (These particular buttons have gone through a process to stabilize the spalted wood. More on that below.) The sanding and polishing also makes the wood glow.

So much love goes into making these buttons for you to enjoy on your special, creative projects!


Measurements: 1 inch wide.

Beautiful wood + lots of sanding + natural oil finish + polishing on the buffing wheel + a whole lotta love = some gorgeous buttons for your special projects.


~Care Instructions~ Care for these buttons as you would wool: hand wash garment in cool water and lay flat to dry. If the wood should dry out from washing, a little walnut oil (or other natural oil) on a soft cloth works well to moisturize them. Oiling them will keep your buttons beautiful and protect them from drying out.

*This particular set of buttons has gone through a process to stabilize the spalted wood. This is a write-up from Jeff about the process to keep the bark on certain woods, which is the same process. A note from Jeff: "A lot of folks like the look of buttons with the bark still on them, but this isn't possible with most woods because the bark will come off right away. So I came up with a method of adhering the bark with a special inert (non-toxic) adhesive that permeates the bark then holds it to the main wood. Any adhesive on the surface of the button is then sanded and polished off. This gives a really nice look especially with Hemlock and Sassafras."
