These owl bookends are manufactured from old oak steps from stair. This noble material is easy to sustain and is heavy which guaranty that your books will not fall. This bookend is a creative design, 100% hand crafted and 100% made from recycled product!

The owl is sacred to the Greek goddess of learning, Athena and is even depicted on some Greco-Roman currency as a symbol of status, intelligence and of course, wealth. This superb animal is a beautiful symbol of the strength of the nature.

Watch out : the price is for one bookend (left or right)!

These "Owl" bookends are completely hand-made. I cut the owl shape with Roland, my 3 axis CNC machine. After, I cut and sand down the heavy base support. I assemble the shape with the base by gluing. The bookends are delivered with a raw finish. As it is natural wood, you are free to wax them to facilitate the maintenance. If you wish, I can varnish your bookends on request; it is free of charge (you will just have to wait 3 days to allow the varnish to dry completely).

Each bookend is made up from treads and risers of old stairs, they are natural wooden boards. Therefore, each bookend is unique and can be slightly different than the pictures hereby. Variations appear in the color of the wood or in the orientation of the fibers. A few reminders of the fact that the bookends are from recycled materials can appear as nodes, marks of nail or of no-longer-here woodworms. I do like these, I think it is somehow romantic, but if you don’t like your bookends, feel free to ask a free return!
