This cherry wood ornament would be a perfect gift for a new homeowner! It would also be a great way to celebrate a marriage or graduation, or to commemorate a memorable vacation there. The writing shown is merely a suggestion and can be customized however you like. The cutout shown is the Chicago flag star, but it could also be a heart or another simple shape. A personalized message can similarly be engraved on the back of the ornament at no extra charge.
My biggest priority is to make sure that you are ordering something that you think is perfect; if you would prefer to see the design before ordering, please feel free to contact me and I'd be happy to draw it up for you. It would bum me out if you receive something that you aren't happy with because you were nervous to contact me about it, so trust me when I say I am happy to help. :)
The ornament measures 3 inches from top to bottom and it comes in a gift box as shown in the pictures, which is also a convenient place to safely store the ornament between holiday seasons. The cherry wood 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 hand-rubbed oil finish.
Because wood is a natural material, there is some variation in the wood grain and color therefore no two ornaments will ever be exactly alike.

Utilizing yard trees for wood is one of the most eco-friendly and sustainable ways to source lumber as it does not contribute to deforestation or environmental destruction. It also gives a positive outcome for trees that are lost due to disease, pests, or construction, and gives additional positive value to the urban forest. Making a conscious decision to purchase products made from urban wood is a way of showing support for the urban forest and local craftsman.
