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 (074)
This perfectly created hollow wooden cube is filled with kiln dried sand
and sealed before it is decorated with a hardwood veneer. 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.
