Paperweights / Ornamental Cubes
Hardwoods are mainly deciduous, most softwood trees are conifers.
Yew is technically a softwood but is physically harder than many
species classified as hardwood. Conversely balsa is technically a
hardwood but as we all know is physically very soft!
Hardwoods Facts
Paperweight (060)
The solid Oak paperweight is covered in Dutch Gold Leaf. Initially made
from mature English Oak hardwood, a reclaimed farm fence post. This
paperweight is different and very tangible. It makes a unique long lasting
gift, especially for weddings and anniversaries and for a special event or
achievement. The cube is very tactile and is just crying out to be held and
inspected. People are drawn towards wood, it is natural, something you see
and understand, no clever hidden technology.
