I love the wispy woodgrain in this hardwood Arkansas magnet. I hope you do too! I’m not sure of the wood species, but it is very hard & dense. It measures 3.3 tall, 3.8 at its widest & is 7/16 thick. The face has been sanded smooth. All our state outline magnets are sawn by hand from solid hardwoods for beauty & durability using a Wen scroll saw. Absolutely no softwoods or plywood are used. Each one features a 1 beveled-edge magnet with appropriate holding power that has been recessed into the wood & securely cemented in place. The size & thickness of each piece depends on the wood stock available & most vary in thickness between 3/8 & 1/2. Each piece was cut in as much detail as possible to the actual outline of the state. The faces of most pieces are sanded smooth, but some with distinctive sawmill marks are only lightly sanded to bring out their rustic charm. Many have attractive wood knots. Each natural wood state magnet is fully coated with Howard Feed & Wax then rubbed to the beautiful natural matte finish this product provides. All of our items have been individually crafted one at a time in our old workshop in Charleston, West Virginia or our new workshop in Gibsonia, Pennsylvania. Arkansas Magnet in Solid Hardwood
