If you’d like to spiff-up your desk, check out this Gerboa Desk Caddy made from antique wood, (olde growth pine that was upcycled from floor joists from Philadelphia in the 1800s).  The image of the Gerboa is from an 1885 Victorian animal book; it’s decoupaged onto the wood’s surface.  The caddy measures 6 x 3 x 3 1/4 inches.

From the same artists’ (PegandAwl Etsy shop), I also admire these handsome candle holders which, too are handcrafted from upcycled, reclaimed olde growth pine.  This Smoke Stack is sanded and finished with 100 percent natural tung oil.  The wood block is 8 inch x 2in x 2 inch and features hand poured pure beeswax candle.
