As you can see by looking around our shop, we make a lot of fireplace bellows of many designs. These the bellows that started it all. These fireplace bellows are a beautiful and functional accessory for anyone's fireplace or woodstove. Unlike many bellows available in stores, these are not flimsy "decorative accessories". They are built for people who depend on their fireplace or woodstove for heat and who appreciate that a good set of bellows is a valuable tool (although we think they are beautiful as well!) We make them from a variety of contrasting hardwoods, depending upon wood availability, but they are all quite similar. The darker wood is always in the middle unless you'd like to switch that up. Some of the woods we have used are: maple, alder, American cherry, walnut, poplar, birch, and cedar. The fireplace bellows in this listing is made of butternut (the handle) and ash. We finish the wood with tung oil, a natural vegetable oil that enhances the depth of the wood grain. The bag consists of 2-3 ounce leather, very supple and able to produce a strong draft. We build the bellows with a strong steel hinge (covered by the leather) for dependability and a long life. They come with a rawhide lace tied to the handle, making them easy to display. They measure 20-1/4" long, 7-3/8" wide, 5" deep when open, and 2" deep when closed. As with all of our products, if you would like to have us make our fireplace bellows from a specific wood, or would like additional carving, please contact us, so we can discuss your ideas
