Cherry burl tree ornaments with a Kransekake theme- 4" size
Cherry burl is a lovely and rare local wood from the burl (large lumps) on the cherry tree. It is a rich light brown color that gets a deeper red color as it is exposed to the light. As you see in the photo, this wood has many “eyes” and lots of figure.
They each have a screw eye at the peak that allows it to be hung on a tree or can be freestanding. They are each based on the Norwegian idea of the Kransekake, the crown cake or more exactly, the bridal wreath cake. It’s usually a wedding cake, made of almond with rings of decreasing size stacked up to make a lovely tree. The “idea” behind the tree is that the rings mean forever and so does the evergreen shape, which in Northern Europe has always meant eternal life. Martin Luther took this image of the eternal tree and “spun it” to be our favorite Christmas accessory. I like that it has both the forever relationship and the Christmas symbolism. They each come with a card that explains their meaning.
