You’ve no-doubt seen our versatility when it comes to thinking up fresh new designs, but have you ever thought of co-opting our fine-tuned skills to create your own custom designed hardwood accessory? We created the custom hardwood bow tie above specifically for St. Patricks Day. We can create a hardwood bow tie for any theme or occasion though; it doesn’t have to be a holiday. Whatever your ideas are, we can bring them to life in wooden bow tie form.

Have a big banquet coming up with a specific color scheme or design element? We can etch designs, logos, and more into your wooden bow tie backdrop of choice. Does your business deal in all things dapper, manly, or creative? Why not create a custom hardwood bow tie branded with your company’s colors or logo for a give-away, thank-you, or customer appreciation? Everyone would appreciate a uniquely designed hardwood accessory, and even better, they’ll think of your company when they don it.

You could also create your own hand-crafted wooden bow tie to rep your favorite sports team or alma mater. Show your pride in the most dapper way possible. Another instance when it would be beneficial to have created your own uniquely designed hardwood accessory is for something like a charity donation to silent auction. We could incorporate your charity’s theme into the creation of a hardwood bow tie that everyone would love.

Designing your own wooden bow tie is also a great way for the groom to get exactly the tie, colors, shades, and textures of fabric he’s looking for. Sometimes there’s just nothing out there that will perfectly match the bridesmaids’ dresses or the bouquet. Now you can create your own, and move on to the next item on your checklist.

Peruvian Walnut

Walnut hardwood is one of the most highly sought after species of wood used in fine carpentry. While Eastern Black is the popular choice in North America, the Andes mountain region offers a fine variety as well. Peruvian walnut has all the same qualities as its ‘Merican cousin with the added benefit of a more clear grain structure.

Also known as Nogal in its native region, Peruvian Walnut’s absence of too many knots or extra sapwood leaves more of the coarse, mahogany like wood for craftsman to craft with. Woody’s makes some seriously slick bike fenders, chain guards, and other parts out of Peruvian Walnut in Bend, Oregon. Why? Simple. Because you don’t need four wheels to ride in style anymore than you need to tie silk around your neck to look dapper.

Craftsman and artist, Ross Leidy makes some of the finest looking table tennis blades we’ve ever seen commissioning Peruvian Walnut. Yes, we just said “table tennis blade.” Why? Because it’d be an insult to call this thing a ping pong paddle.

Of course we’re making some extremely fine neckwear out of Peruvian Walnut. Both our Clifford and Ray are made from the Junglans species. Clifford’s red & white houndstooth really pop against the dark hardwood. This hardwood bow tie looks great anywhere. Have a dinner plans Saturday night? Suit up with it. Crushing your boys in a ping pong tourney Friday night? Take Clifford, a red, white, and blue headband, roll the sleeves up on your linen shirt and do work.

Our Ray hardwood bow tie is also a workhorse. While Ray could easily accompany you to dinner he’d honestly rather be on a pub crawl… on a bike adorned with an ensemble of other Peruvian Walnut crafted accessories. Did we mention he could pong too?

Walnut is a craftsman’s wood in all its varieties. It’s tough enough for just about anything, which means it’ll be with you for a long time to come. Whether you’re using them on the interior of a classic car, to make a guitar, as flooring, or even a dapper accessory, you can guarantee that Walnut woods will always be classy.
