This is a handmade wooden bookmark for saving your place in your cookbook. It is 6 inches long and 1 3/8 inches wide. It is a slice from the outside of the tree so it is a mixture of sapwood and heartwood and there is some of weathered outside surface of the wood. A customer sent me this wood from Arizona. The tassel is beaded with blue, green and purple beads. Finished with Tried and True Varnish oil which is a true boiled linseed oil. It is non toxic and dried to a hard finish. It does not contain any heavy metal driers like most "boiled" linseed oils.
