When cleaning out a desk last week, I was reunited with this piece of smooth polished wood. The maker emphasized it was for meditation, NOT a worry stone.
Spalted Maple. What is it? Wood that has started to decay. “Botanical Designation: Not a distinct species of maple; spalting is a fungal discoloration caused by partially decayed wood.”
I bought it from The Wood Rasp Shop vendor at the Pittsburgh Indie Knit and Spin at the Ace Hotel.
In fact, I posted a photo of the maker and his other wood items for sale in November 2018-the post titled Not a Worry Stone .
(I did google worry stones and they can be purchased in bulk)
His website is not active unfortunately as he made all sorts of Really beautiful wooden shawl pins and buttons.
I have not heard of these before – they look like real
Stones – what a nice hobby/business
I thought I’d buy some as gifts but his site is down. As to your thoughts on my blogging MO, I think you nailed it, Yvette. I appreciate your thoughts. And I read on another blog that “big changes” are coming to WordPress June first. Clearly I am out of the loop. Thanks for taking time to look and write.
I am out of the Blog loop right now too!
Hope all is well and that your summer is off
To a great start
Thank you Yvette.
It almost looks like petrified wood.
It looks so smooth; I bet it has great hand feel. Is it heavy?
Not at all. It’s light
I’m sad the store shut down. Looks like a real treasure.
