HOW YOU ARE SUPPORTING THE ENVIRONMENT: 🌎

This piece is crafted from the unique Andean walnut, also known as TOCTE. While it is closely related to the commercial walnut that is consumed worldwide, the Tocte nut is rare and highly valued for its rich and distinctive properties. Unfortunately, the tocte nut trees are facing the threat of extinction due to the excessive use of their wood in furniture and carvings. However, by creating items like this piece from the actual nut, we can help to raise awareness and support the efforts to re-plant and protect these precious trees for future generations.
