And a partridge in a pear tree! This filigree like beauty is surprisingly sturdy. Those partridges have nothing better to do all day than sit in the pear trees and protect your surfaces from being scorched.
 
The partridge in a pear tree is symbolic of Christ upon the Cross. In the song, Mother partridges will feign injury to decoy a predator away from her nest. She is even willing to die for them, thus the connection. The tree is a symbol of redemption.
 
My 8" birch wood trivets are 1/2" thick and sturdy. They are treated with Danish oil to harden and seal the wood. Use them to protect your precious table or counter, or hang them on the wall as a decorative piece. They're beautiful, practical, and functional!
 
They make a great wedding or baby shower gift, housewarming, birthday or graduation gift.
Each trivet is designed on a computer, cut out with a powerful laser TWICE and painstakingly glued together to give you the most sturdy and pleasingly weighted final product. It's also a lovely neutral color that can go with any decor. 
 
All of my trivets are made to order. Please keep this in mind as processing time can take 5-10 days.
