(01) Baltic Birch with Walnut
Made using a 13-layer solid wood Baltic birch with a walnut face. Baltic birch is a sustainable product and will be stable as the seasons change, unlike other solid wood furniture pieces.We have made it our signature look to expose the layers of Baltic birch. Not only does this give a nod to the designers of the mid-century era, it makes every piece a work of art, and a unique, one-of-a-kind, creation.
(02) Finish
Pure Tung Oil, Boiled Linseed Oil, Beeswax, Carnauba Wax. The end result is a durable, water-resistant matte finish that feels like a silky-smooth piece of wood.

(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 - and 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, though it shouldn’t be necessary very often with these.
(02) Will these actually hold my books up?
Yes! The cork on the bottom helps to keep the bookend from sliding, even though they aren’t extremely heavy like you’d find in a marble or metal bookend.

Baltic birch layers are a high quality, all hard-wood product that is sustainable, stable, and artful in design.
In some of our products, such as this one, we glue and stack the layers together. Then, we cut them vertically so that you are able to see the striped layers turn on their sides.
It’s inspired by mid-century style, but is modern, minimalist, and a work of art.
