READY TO SHIP: Premium Handmade Fireplace Bellows, Walnut with Tree of Life Motif, black leather, copper tacks - Fireplace - Hearth
These exquisite bellows were crafted from rich brown walnut and feature a carved tree of life motif. They are approximately 19 inches long and 7 inches wide. The walnut appears fluid, with some figuring and twisting in the grain. The wood is bound by black leather and copper-colored tacks. A sturdy brass hinge connects the paddles under the leather boot, which features a brass nozzle that has been painted to match the tacks. These bellows are made to last for generations, while bringing a sense of history to your hearth. A few puffs from these bellows will help get a fire started in your fireplace, woodstove or fire pit.
Due to the length of the bellows, the nozzle is wrapped separately when shipped. Simply screw it onto the body of the bellows.
Our bellows and other wooden items are crafted by hand in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia. We prefer to bring new life to antique wood by recycling lumber from old barns, houses and furniture to create our one-of-a-kind pieces. Imperfections in the wood such as knots and worm holes grace these timeless designs. Created using a combination of hand tools and modern technology, our items are beautiful as well as functional.
Do you like what you see, but would prefer a different stain or engraved design, or no design at all? Please contact us to inquire about custom items. There's no extra charge for design and engraving. Allow 4-6 weeks processing time for custom orders.

To fulfill your order, you must provide me with certain information (which you authorized Etsy to provide to me), such as your name, email address, postal address, payment information, and the details of the product that you’re ordering. You may also choose to provide me with additional personal information (for a custom order, for example), if you contact me directly.
Why I Need Your Information and How I Use It
I rely on a number of legal bases to collect, use, and share your information, including:
• as needed to provide my services, such as when I use your information to fulfil your order, to settle disputes, or to provide customer support;
• if necessary to comply with a legal obligation or court order or in connection with a legal claim, such as retaining information about your purchases if required by tax law; and

I use your information to provide the services you requested and in my legitimate interest to improve my services; and 2) Compliance with the Etsy Seller Policy and Terms of Use. I use your information as necessary to comply with my obligations under the Etsy Seller Policy and Terms of Use.

Information about my customers is important to my business. I share your personal information for very limited reasons and in limited circumstances, as follows:
• Etsy. I share information with Etsy as necessary to provide you my services and comply with my obligations under both the Etsy Seller Policy and Etsy Terms of Use.
• Service providers. I engage delivery services to provide services to my shop. I will share your personal information with these third parties, but only to the extent necessary to perform these services.

Your Rights
If you reside in certain territories, including the EU, you have a number of rights in relation to your personal information. While some of these rights apply generally, certain rights apply only in certain limited cases. I describe these rights below:

• Object. You can object to (i) my processing of some of your information based on my legitimate interests and (ii) receiving marketing messages from me after providing your express consent to receive them. In such cases, I will delete your personal information unless I have compelling and legitimate grounds to continue using that information or if it is needed for legal reasons.

My engraver requires a black and white image in JPEG, GIF, or other image format. The resolution must be good so the image will remain crisp when enlarged. If you need assistance locating a suitable image, please contact me and I'll be glad to help.
Please contact me to see where I am in the assembly process. It's fine to add engraving as long as the bellows are still in progress. However, once the bellows is assembled, it will not fit in my engraver.
To care for the wood, any product intended to clean or polish wood may be used. The leather may be treated with neatsfoot oil or similar leather care products. The brass nozzle may be cleaned with commercial brass cleaner, or simply polished with fine steel wool.
DO NOT IMMERSE YOUR BELLOWS OR TRIVET IN WATER. DO NOT SCRUB THE SURFACE VIGOROUSLY WITH WATER OR ANY CLEANING PRODUCT. THIS WILL REMOVE THE TUNG OIL FINISH AND LIGHTEN THE ENGRAVED AREAS. I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY MISHAPS INVOLVING YOUR ITEM DUE TO CLEANING OR WATER DAMAGE.
