Iron Stained Oak Catchall

Ever wondered what happens when you nail something to a tree? 

In the case of this white oak, the iron and the natural tannins in the wood reacted causing unique blue/gray stains permeating through large portions of the tree. This reaction went on for decades and caused discoloration from light grays to deep blues and blacks.

Trays purchased from this collection will vary dramatically in appearance and strength of color.
