Tap Maple pair 2

These tap maple beauties are created from wood stained during the maple sugaring process. In Vermont, during the spring we tap our maples to retrieve sap that is boiled down to create maple syrup, The holes left by this process gather water and turn the maple a dark brown above and below the tap hole. Book matching is a technique where you take a patterned wood, in this case, spalting, and slice it with a thin blade. When you open the pieces like a book you are left with a pattern-to-pattern symmetrical pair. Extremely lightweight one of a kind. Wood piece 2” hanging length 3”
