- Handmade in Atlin B.C by Stuart Simpson & Christine Kelly
- Unique sculptured Bottle Stopper
- Inlaid with gold from local placer mining creeks as well as semi-precious stones, Malachite, Turquoise and Azurite
- Inlaying requires painstakingly fitting small peices of semi-precious stone and metals into the natural gaps in the cut burl. The finished design must then be sanded and waxed many times to create a look and feel that is seamless and natural looking.
- Burl is a large knobbly growth, common on poplar trees. Burl wood is desired by carvers because, although it is harder to carve, the finished peice has a more beautiful grain pattern as well as being stronger. This makes burl ideal for bowls and boxes.
Wildwoods has now retired, so this is the last batch of products available from Stuart Simpson & Christine Kelly ever!
