Six Pan Branch

From Beam Paints:

‘Sugar Maple Palettes carefully gathered from our family’s sugar bush – the place where we make maple syrup. These small pieces of wood come from the magical Inaatig in our Ojibwe language, Acer saccharum in Latin, and finally Sugar Maple in English. Every spring we tap hundreds of these trees when the nights are freezing but the day is above zero and the sun is shining. It’s a time of getting together, hard work, and family. It doesn’t hurt the tree and this same acreage we live on has been caretaken by our families since and before the treaties of our area were signed. It takes 40 litres of sap to make one litre of maple syrup!

Part of caring for the trees is carefully removing some dry branches, these palettes are made from those offcuts. I have always loved the strength and feeling of them, like a living stone.’

Made 7/8 inch to fit our standard Paintstone. Shape and colour will vary.

Shipping & Delivery

Packaging

Shipping

December 2024 Update: Unfortunately we cannot send to anywhere in Europe or Northern Ireland at the present time. This is due to new product safety regulations. We hope that we will be able to ship there again in future. Everywhere else in the world is unaffected.

USA Shipping: Orders going to the US are now subject to the US tariffs. These are tariffs that are due to the US government and have to be paid before the parcel will be granted entry to the US. The tariff is based on where the goods are made, not where they are being sent from:

Made in the UK: 10% tariff

Made in Europe (except Switzerland): 15% tarriff

Made in Switzerland: 39% tariff

The tariff will be calculated manually based on the order content and payment will be requested before the order can be sent.

It is possible the US postal system may apply extra charges but so far that hasn’t been experienced.
