Know before you buy
Beetle kill pine is wood harvested from trees affected by the mountain pine beetle. Using this material is an eco-conscious choice that repurposes timber, giving each ornament a unique grain pattern and a story rooted in forest conservation.
The intricate detailing and earthy finish are applied to the front of the ornament to showcase the elk's features. The back typically features the natural, smooth texture of the beetle kill pine.
Because it is crafted from pine, the ornament is lightweight and designed to hang easily on standard Christmas tree branches without causing them to sag.
Yes, each ornament includes a hanging loop, making it ready to display on your tree or as a decorative accent in your home as soon as it arrives.
To preserve the finish and the natural wood, store the ornament in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Wrapping it in acid-free tissue paper will help protect the painted details during the off-season.
