Handmade western red cedar soap rest (or shampoo bar rest, dish soap bar rest) from Mountain Tree Farm

$20.00

Our friend Teresa of sister-run Mountain Tree Farm in Arlington, WA dropped these off as a surprise for us at the end of 2021. Such a sweetheart! They were so popular that we quickly had to order more. They're made from windfall Western red cedar from their well-loved land. Teresa uses these windfall trees to make cool soap rests (and charcuterie boards and cutting boards!), by hand, and then she sands them smooth and lightly oils them with a cutting board oil called Walrus Oil made with beeswax, coconut oil, food-safe mineral oil and Vitamin E. How she does this with all her other responsibilities and two little ones on hand is nothing short of remarkable to me.

This batch is wood from western red cedar trees that Teresa once helped her dad move from where they first fell--trees and memories that she deeply treasures now that he is gone. She adds small cork feet to the bottom of the soap rests now to allow a bit of air underneath, which helps them dry even more quickly. Wise beyond her years this woman is. Teresa warns that they could stain white grout because the wood loses a tiny bit of color now and then, but most countertops these days won't mind.

Note: Price is for one handmade western red cedar soap rest without soap--photos with soaps are just to show size and scale.

To use: Set one or two of our dish soap bars, soaps, shampoo bars, or doggie shampoo bars onto the soap rest to dry when not in use. These will hasten dry time and ensure that your bars last as long as possible. Place these outside of where they would receive regular spray from the faucet. The wood can handle regular spray, but the soaps will last longer if they don't receive regular spray from the faucet.   

Size: The soap rests are 3.5 inches wide, 4.5 inches long, and just under an inch tall. Each one is unique. 

Ingredients: Beloved land + windfall western red cedar + beeswax + coconut oil + food-safe mineral oil + vitamin E + farmer and sisterly ingenuity + long-time friendship and generosity
