Maple Serving Board
Hand-turned from a solid block of sugar maple, this board can be used to serve crudités and charcuterie, though it is distinct and refined enough to be displayed on its own. Its cylindrical shape is simple, solid and sturdy, giving geometric form to the wave-like maple wood grain. Remarkable from all angles, even the base is thoughtfully designed as it features Wesselman's signature floating ring pedestal.
Seattle artist Katherine Wesselman turns each wooden piece on a lathe she received from her father, and the heritage of craftsmanship mingled with her impeccable design sense is plain to see in all of her work. This is an object to cherish!

Why Linen
- Linen is wonderful and luxurious. It’s one of the easiest fabrics to care for.
- The smooth and long fibers of linen help resist dirt and stains.
- It gets better with age and softens the more it is washed.
- Linen absorbs water quickly and dries quickly.
- It is durable and strong, lint-free and resistant to pilling.
- Linen can withstand high temperatures.
- It is inherently eco-friendly. Flax has a short growing cycle, is quickly renewable, and every part of the plant is used.
Tea Towels
- Machine wash in cool to warm water.
- Use a mild detergent, no bleach.
- Line dry or tumble dry on low heat; remove while still damp.
- Ironing is optional. Some people prefer linen crisp and flat, others like it soft and natural.
- Dry thoroughly before storing.
- We encourage you to use your tea towels daily and enjoy the patina that comes with age!
- Machine wash in cool to warm water.
- Use a mild detergent, no bleach.
- Hang to dry, or tumble dry on low heat and remove while slightly damp. There is very little to no shrinkage when washed this way.
- For natural or colored linen, it’s best not to hang in bright sunlight to avoid fading.
- Ironing is optional, and much easier to do while your apron is still damp. Use a hot iron with plenty of steam or a spray of water.
- Store in a dry, well-ventilated area. Well-cared for linen aprons will last for generations.
Stains
- Remove stains with soap and water while still fresh, before they dry.
- Pre-soaking in mild detergent is very effective in lifting stains.
- Never use chlorine bleach which may damage the fibers.
