Wood species for our wooden accessories
Maple
When thinking of maple trees two things come to mind immediately: the delicious maple syrup and Canada, with the maple leaf as its flag symbol. And Canada is one of the countries where maple trees grow. In addition to Canada, the deciduous trees are native to Europe, Asia and North America. Maple wood is light with colors ranging from white to slightly yellowish. The annual rings are clearly visible and contribute to maple wood’s special grain. This is particularly nicely visible in the Dachsteinwristwatch made entirely of maple wood. Maple wood is easily bendable, elastic, yet hard and stable. It is therefore very well suited for handmaking our Karwendeland Dachsteinwooden watches. Due to maple woods low weight, wood watches made out of maple are very comfortable to wear, thus giving you a piece of nature’s lightness.
Ebony
If you’ve heard, read, or watched fairy tales as a child, you probably know Snow White. And if so, you definitely know the part where it says “her hair is black as ebony”. But maybe you are less aware that ebony is not necessarily black. There are different types of ebony that are native to countries in Africa, Indonesia and Central and South America. Depending on the type of ebony, it is brown, partly reddish or black to deep black. The colors of heartwood and sapwood, the wood just below the bark, also vary. The dial on the Wildensteiner wooden watch for men is made of dark ebony. The Mountain Sight sunglasses show dark brown to black ebony, the Free Sight sunglasses show the beautiful color variations of ebony. Ebony’s pores are open or very fine, depending on the type.

Thus, ebony is in the form of the wooden watch Wildensteiner or the sunglasses Mountain Sight and Free Sight perfectly able to highlight how special and precious you are.

When thinking of cherry trees, in addition to their tasty fruits, the wonderfully colorful flowering time of the cherry trees comes to mind. Cherry trees belong to the rose family of trees and plants and grow in deciduous and mixed coniferous forests. They are originally from Europe – maybe you even have a cherry tree in the garden yourself. In the meantime, cherry trees expanded their distribution area well into North America and Asia. Cherry trees’ wood belongs to the group of hardwoods and has a pleasant orange-red color. Characteristic are the clearly visible and lively fibres running through cherry wood, which make Holzspecht’s Moneyclip Donau wooden wallet made of cherry wood so very unique and pleasant to look at.
