WOODEN ORNAMENT | CARMINE BEE-EATER

The carmine bee-eater is one of Africa’s most colourful birds. It nests in large colonies in burrows dug into riverbanks and catches insects in flight. This lovely ornament brings a warm display of colour into your home. The high-quality ornament is hand-carved from jacaranda wood and hand-painted.

The ornament is designed in Finland and hand-carved in Kenya as part of our WFTO-verified Fair Trade business model. Each hand-carved ornament is signed by its maker.

These products are hand carved from freshly fallen branches of the jacaranda tree. We never cut down trees for our products. While the branches are still soft, they are cut and carved into ornaments and then dried before sanding. The natural wood ornaments are finished without chemical treatment, bringing out the natural colour of the wood. The painted ornaments are finished with water-based acrylic paints and coated with clear varnish.
