These toggle buttons were created by my husband Jeff in spruce burl. Is this wood amazing or what? We love all the birdseyes in the grain. He sands and polishes the buttons so smooth, you'll love the way they feel. All the sanding and polishing also brings out the beauty of the wood, and makes it glow. Full of handmade character, these unique toggles will make a fun addition to garments. These buttons have gone through a process to stabilize the wood, more on that below.


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



Measurements: 1 & 1/8 inches wide.

*This particular set of buttons has gone through a process to stabilize the wood (occasionally we work with woods that require that- like those with spalting or birdseye), the same process used to keep the bark on some of the buttons. 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."

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.
