MOLD 006

Symbol: fertile earth (the central symbol - the square represents the earth and the four sharp-pointed shapes woven into it are blades of grass as representative of the life force emanating from the earth), seeds (around earth), roots (below), and sprouting seed (above). Overall, the symbol represents the life-giving powers of Mother Earth.

Wood: sassafras (Sassafras albidum). Sassafras, a tree in the Laurel family, has extremely fragrant wood. This mold has a lasting exquisite smell of wintergreen and natural beeswax. The mold is traditionally treated: held over live fire (to slightly tan & burn the surface of the mold to highlight the beautiful symbolic pattern and natural beauty of sassafras wood), permeated with 100% natural beeswax (to seal wood’s pores and make it waterproof and durable), and covered with 100% organic food grade linseed oil (to add a glossy shiny look).

Dimensions: 6 x 8 x 1 in (15,3 x 20,3 x 2,6 cm).
