Lake Placid Ornament - Lake Ornament - New Home Ornament - Newlywed Ornament - New York Ornament - New House Ornament

This cherry wood ornament makes a perfect gift to celebrate a new lake house! It would also be a great way to remember fun summertime lake memories, or to celebrate a wedding or engagement. The ornament measures about 3 inches across and it comes in a presentation box with the outline of Lake Placid printed on the lid. In addition to being a visually striking detail, it is also a convenient place to safely store the ornament between holiday seasons.

The ornament can be customized with text as well as a symbol somewhere on the map. For example, to celebrate a wedding this year, it could have the names of the happy couple and the year, and a heart cutout or engraved on the map where the wedding took place. Similarly the purchase of a new home could be celebrated by some personalized text and a star where the new house is located.

The cherry wood that the ornament is made from is sourced from street trees in the western Michigan area that have been removed due to construction or storm damage -- not their timber value. After I pick out the wood at the sawmill, I personally process it through a long series of planing and sawing steps, and I finally laser cut it and apply a food-safe hand-rubbed oil finish.
