Solid Wood Pocket Press
This is our pocket size travel flower press. Measuring 3 1/2” x 5 1/2”, it is made of solid 1/2" red oak stock. We make our presses by hand from start to finish with care and love. The pocket press is what I keep in my car just in case I spot a few beautiful wildflowers on the side of the road or bring hiking as a lightweight option while also taking up very minimal space in my backpack. When we take a road trip, I like to stop and collect a few wildflowers from each area we visit as a special souvenir from our travels & this is the perfect size to do just that while taking up minimal room in your car.
This pocket press makes for the cutest birthday/holiday gift for the nature lover in your life!
The main benefit of this design is the lack of bolts. It's a pocket sized press you can actually slip into a pocket. It will also not tear up the inside of your bag like a bolted press would. You can 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:
- 1/2" 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.
- Natural finish. We use shellac to finish our presses. 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, 5 sheets of cardboard, 8 sheets chipboard. Does not include paper.
Approximate Dimensions: 5 1/2" x 3 1/2"
*Local Pickup option at Checkout if you’re local to the Lawrence area.
