These bookends are made from maple wood with a metal tail to slide under your books. The arch measures approx 6" tall by 4" wide. The tail is about 4" deep. I start with the natural surface, hand draw my designs, add some heat and love, then finish with a water and scratch resistant polyurethane coat. These bookends should be cleaned as needed with hot, soapy water and dried immediately, do not submerge in water. Store out of direct sunlight to prevent fading. Please send me a message if you have any questions! PS- Fun fact: every atom that exists on this planet was formed billions and billions of years ago in a far away star which then went supernova 🌟 and propelled these little bits that would become you out into the universe. You, my spectacular and astounding friend, are already a star. SHINE YOUR LIGHT. 💃🌠🌈
