small (under 5/8ths) two hole buttons cut from a lathe turned spindle of scrap walnut. for a white collared shirt that is all but finished. large (under 2 inch) hand carved three hole buttons of scrap mahogany- one finished, one just roughed out. for a messenger bag for a friend.
little wooden objects like this are easily finished to a nice light gloss with the natural oils that your body produces. sitting around after dinner? hold a button in your palm and rub it around. done and done.
