Hand Made Found Wood Comfort Chip – Beech Burr With Rings

This compact and chunky chip is made from a burr from a beech tree that was felled due to disease. The chip pictured is the chip you will receive. It’s a real 1-of-1, so to speak. It has a rich and complex grain focused around ring structures in ivory, cream, brown and rusty hues. It’s approximately 6.4cm long by 2.3cm wide and 1.3cm thick. Your chip will come in a gift box with a piece of polishing sandpaper.

Each comfort chip is hand-selected, hand-cut, hand-shaped and hand-sanded to a shiny polish. We make our chips from a wide variety of woods including pines, evergreens, oak, yew, beech, ash, or whatever we find that gives an interesting grain and a fine surface. Every piece is unique, but carries the same features of curved corners and straight edges for busy digits to explore. We cut by saw and sand down the surfaces using rasps and files before finishing with sandpaper up to 5000-grit. This is all by hand, so the final polish isn’t perfect so we include a small square of sandpaper with every order so owners can polish to their own satisfaction! The only machines we use are a sander for the overall shape and a laser engraver to personalise.
