Solid Wood Flower Press 9" x 11" Red Oak
This is our standard size travel/storage flower press. It is made of solid 1" red oak stock*. We make our presses by hand from start to finish with care and love. The standard travel press is the press I personally choose for storing my pressed flowers, and I always bring at least one on all trips :)
The main benefit of this design for travel and storage is the lack of bolts. For travel, this means stowing your press in your bag or suitcase without bolts tearing up your luggage. For storage the presses become easily stackable. You can also use this as you would any other flower press, there are some who actually prefer the cinch straps to bolts and they are perfectly capable of producing beautiful finished flowers.
What sets our press apart:
- Height. Most presses out there are only a few inches tall. This press has enough strap length to make a 10" tall press (8" of pressing space). It can also go as short as you'd like.
- 1" solid wood stock. Maybe overkill, but we like the peace of mind, as well as the heirloom feel. It's something we'll pass down to our kids.
- Food grade finish. The press is completely free of chemicals, owing to the shellac finish. Naturally made by the lac bug, shellac has been used to finish wood for hundreds of years, and is even used to coat candy. We mix our own shellac at home using only pure shellac flakes and Everclear (190 proof grain alcohol) and use a French polishing method to apply.
Pressing flowers is a great way to slow down and connect with nature. The resulting pressed flowers can be used in tons of crafts, art projects, or even food garnishes! This would make a perfect gift for those gardeners and nature lovers in your life.
These are handmade out of natural materials, so wood will vary in color and grain, and small imperfections are possible, but we would only ever ship out something we'd be happy receiving ourselves.
Includes two solid oak pieces, two velcro cinch straps, 7 sheets of cardboard, 12 sheets chipboard. Does not include paper, but is made for standard 8.5"x11" printer paper.
Approximate Dimensions: 9 1/4" x 11 1/4"
*For those not familiar with dimensional lumber, 1" stock is actually 3/4" thick
*Local Pickup option at Checkout if you’re local to the Lawrence area.
