They will cozily live on your mantel, bookshelf, or in a nursery. Made of Baltic birch with a walnut face and a smooth oil and wax finish.

Conceptualized and designed to honor our craftsman’s late grandmother, Doris, the smooth, simple shape of these elephants brings sophistication to what is sometimes viewed as a whimsical animal. These gentle giants are all style and class, though.

Handcrafted in Minneapolis

MATERIALS
(01) Baltic Birch and Walnut
Our decor pieces are made using a beautiful high-end layered Baltic birch from Columbia Forest Products®. Each of the 13 layers are solid wood, and a thick face in walnut wraps each face in rich tones. The Baltic birch is a sustainable product and will be very stable as the seasons change, unlike some solid wood products.

While many woodworkers conceal the edges of the plywood, we have made it our signature look to highlight the striped layers. Not only does this give a nod to the designers of the mid-century era, it makes every piece by Hossle Woodworks a work of art, and a unique, one-of-a-kind, creation.

(02) Finish
We finish our products with a mixture of pure tung oil, boiled linseed oil and wax. This means less harsh chemicals when we are doing the work, and a safer breathing experience for you. The end result is a durable, water-resistant matte finish that feels like a silky-smooth piece of wood.

Another benefit to the finish is that it allows for easy repair when scratches happen. Buff out the scratch with a piece of high-grit sandpaper and rub in some Howard Feed-N-Wax® and your piece is as good as new! See less
