Hand-Carved Teak Rose Rosette in Natural Unfinished Wood

This rosette is carved from teak and measures 5 inches across. A rose with layered, curling petals sits at the center of a round disc, with a smooth rim around the edge. The wood has no finish, so you see the natural reddish-brown color and the fine tool marks left by the carver.

Carved rosettes are used on furniture, doors and wall panels in Thai houses, and a single one can be a wall accent or an item for a craft project. Because there is no finish, you can leave it natural or seal it yourself. Dust it with a soft brush, and keep it dry.
