Once part of a whiskey barrel, aged deep in oak and spirit, these handcrafted teardrop ornaments have been reborn into something bright and timeless. Each piece is shaped from reclaimed oak staves — rescued, refined, and given a second life as symbols of renewal and joy.
This set of three ornaments is side-drilled and elegantly strung on gold ribbon, creating a contemporary twist on traditional Yule and Christmas décor. The smooth, natural oak reveals its distinctive grain and warm tones — a quiet reminder of craftsmanship, sustainability, and the beauty of simple materials.
The teardrop, an ancient symbol seen in art and spirituality across the world, represents both release and rebirth — a soft reminder that light always returns after the dark. Perfect for decorating trees, wreaths, or altars, they carry a quiet reverence for nature, transformation, and the passing of seasons.

Sustainability & Process
Made entirely from recycled whiskey barrel oak, these ornaments embody the art of reuse and respect for materials. Each stave once held aged spirit, and now, after careful cutting, sanding, and finishing, becomes a piece that celebrates craftsmanship and renewal.
No synthetic stains or lacquers — just smooth hand-sanding and a touch of natural wax for protection and subtle glow.
