If you are looking for unique, handmade buttons for your creative projects, you've come to the right place!

This handmade wooden button was created by my husband Jeff in spalted maple wood. Spalted wood is just amazing, and this spalted maple is really something! The design in the grain of each piece of spalted wood is so unique- every one a rare beauty.

Jeff has described the spalting before as "nature's paintbrush" because of the dark lines and designs that look like they've been painted on the wood.

Spalting is wood coloration by fungi, and when woodworkers find spalted wood that has the amazing designs, but is at the happy point before the wood has decomposed away- it's quite a treasure!

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.

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


Measurements: 1 inch wide.

Sometimes the spalted wood needs to be stabilized. This button has gone through a process to stabilize the spalted wood, we use a non-toxic method with beautiful results!

Beautiful wood + lots of sanding + natural oil finish + polishing on the buffing wheel + a whole lotta love = some gorgeous buttons for your special projects. Created with the intention to spread JOY!


~Care Instructions~
Care for these buttons similarly to washing wool: hand wash garment in cool water and lay flat to dry. The less time wood buttons spend in water, the better. Water can dry out the wood. Soaps and detergents even more so by removing the natural oil finish that protects the wood.
I have sometimes been able to submerge a garment for washing while keeping the wood buttons just barely up out of the water. If that doesn't work, I go for a quicker wash.
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, and helps keep the buttons in better shape for longer.
