Valentines Day Wooden Heart Bracelets


Here is the beginning stages of wood working. Cut delicately on a larger then necessary band saw, these wooden hearts came to life. From this stage of the process, we move to the belt sander to give these raw cut heart a smoother shape. 



Now it is up to the job of equipping ourselves with extreme patients. We sit and hand-sand for an hour or so, for each single heart, in order to reach this shinny smooth finish; and after a natural wax is applied, the grain is then brought to life!


The final stage was drilling a small hole into the sides of each heart. The gold plated 16g wire is then slipped through the side, and twisted on each end to leave an easy latched clasp at the back side of the bracelet.

These small exotic wooden bracelets are just the beginning of the journey to creating one of a kind, beautiful, hand-crafted accessories!
