Forest's Edge

These wooden tree decor pieces are called the “Forest’s Edge” because we use Baltic birch plywood wrapped in walnut veneer, but leave the edges of the high-end plywood exposed. The trees love being displayed on a mantel for the holiday season - even Earth Day and Arbor Day - heck, just keep these trees up all year for all the seasons.

The wooden trees are all attached together as one piece - not three separate trees that you arrange, which makes it easy to store and move, and you won’t have to worry about the cat knocking them over (ok, you’ll have to worry less about the cat knocking them over).

Handcrafted in Minneapolis.

(01) Veneered Baltic Birch

The wooden trees are made using a beautiful high-end Baltic birch plywood from Columbia Forest Products®. Each of the 13 layers of the ply are solid wood, and a thick veneer in walnut or maple 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!

(01) How do I care for this product?

Details can be found on our FAQ page. That said, in general, treat the piece with kindness. A damp cloth is all you need to clean it (definitely no harsh chemicals), and the piece can be refreshed with a bit of furniture wax when needed.

(02) Are both sides finished or does the piece have to face a certain direction?

It’s meant to face the way you see it in the photos. The back is not as attractive, and we’ve placed our brand on the backside.

(03) Can I order these individually and arrange them myself?

Reach out to us if you are looking for a customization. These trees are pre-made, so we can’t ship you individual pieces right away. That said, with a slight variation in how we create the product, we are open to sending them to you individually.
