The Mighty Oak

Why we love our oak rings so much

It's that time of year! Fall is here and the leaves are just starting to change color. Another thing you might notice if you look to the ground are all the lovely little acorns that have dropped from their home way up in that big Oak tree. We were lucky enough to pick up a few of the acorns and catch some lovely photos with this set of Oak rings we just made. Check out the great color's of these acorns!

Many people all over the world find symbolism and meaning in the Oak tree. Oak plays an important role in Celtic culture. It symbolizes everything from strength, life, family and power. It's even the national tree for lots of countries. It's no wonder the Oak is so important to many people and places, they are found in humorous places all over the world. The White Oak tree can grow up to 80' tall and even 80' wide.  
With so much meaning and beauty it's easy to see why we are so proud of each oak ring we make. Not only to they hold so much symbolism, we love the golden color and the strong grain texture visible in each ring.  As you know by now, oak is very strong and it makes for a great ring that is sure to last!
