Patikan, Natural Wood Beads, Long Bicone, Large Hole, Smooth, 8-10mm x 12mm, Full Strand, 32pcs - ID 1042

Patikan Natural Wood Beads Patikan is a hard palmwood that grows in the Philippines. The natural grain of the wood has beautiful, parallel black markings, as if it were decorated with a paintbrush. And, the older the tree, the darker the wood. These particular beads are lightweight and smooth with a large center hole. They have an understated polish which allows them to retain a very natural and organic appearance. Wood beads look great with a wide variety of metals. Here, the unique shape would look great in multi strand designs. Try pairing them with semiprecious stones, shell, bone, and other natural materials. And, a bonus, the larger holed beads are perfect for crochet, macrame, and craft projects. HANDMADE NATURAL WOOD BEADS These particular beads are handcrafted in the Philippines, coming to you from a family that has 30 years of expertise in making wood beads. Each bead is cut, turned, and polished in their backyard shop. Natural wood, without any additional stain, they will stay beautiful for years to come.
