"Compass" Wood and Resin Necklace

This necklace has been handmade from a piece of reclaimed spalted maple wood and crystal blue colored natural resin. The piece hangs from brass loops attached to a gold plated chain, which measures a total of 32 inches. Both resin and wood are smooth to the touch; they have been sanded using several different sandpaper grades.

The piece measures 3 inches long and 1 inches wide with the brass element.

Every piece is handmade. I don't use templates so each one is unique with a variety of resin and wood ratios. My process includes cutting, shaping and sanding the piece by hand one at a time. All pieces are made by me in my studio in Huntersville, NC.
