I am a Cherry Bark Coaster. Strong enough for a hot drink, smooth enough to make an impression. I may be bark, but I’m all warmth. Curator's Notes I love a good coaster, but this one feels like so much more. With its thick base and beautifully polished surface, it brings the raw character of cherry bark into the home—the knots, gnarls, and natural patterns making each piece unique. It’s sturdy enough for everyday drinks, but I also find myself using it as a small pedestal for mementos or decorative objects. A quiet, grounding presence that elevates whatever rests on top.
