Buttons

Bold but elegant, these wood buttons are hand crafted to create a majestic finish to your product.  Since these buttons are made from naturally occurring woods, there will be some variation in color, size and shape.  The Banksia Pod is a truly renewable resource – no trees are cut to harvest the pods.  The Banksia Pod provides a dramatic contrast to any garment due to its size.  This button ranges from two to three inches depending on available resources found for production.  For the other wood buttons, all efforts are made by suppliers of the woods to harvest the timber using sound management and conservation techniques.
