Silver Maple Shot Glass — Reclaimed & Refined
Dimensions: ~2‑1/2 inches tall × 1‑1/2 inches diameter
Finish: Stabilized + Wax Blend (polymerized walnut oil, beeswax, carnauba wax)
This shot glass is turned from reclaimed Silver Maple (Acer saccharinum)—a piece of wood with a past, sourced from a small business that specializes in salvaging barnwood and forgotten timber. Silver Maple is known for its light, satiny tone and subtle grain, but this piece tells a bolder story: a vertical divide of light and dark brown, where heartwood and weathered edge meet in striking contrast. It’s a natural boundary line, preserved in form and polished to reveal the quiet drama of time and transformation.
Stabilized for strength and longevity, the vessel is finished with a blend of polymerized walnut oil, beeswax, and carnauba wax, creating a smooth, food-safe surface with a soft, natural sheen. Though compact, it feels substantial in the hand—balanced, tactile, and unmistakably one-of-a-kind.
A small vessel with a layered story, this shot glass is a celebration of rescue, renewal, and the beauty of reclaimed wood—crafted by Gentry Crafted to honor both material and memory.
