This handmade knobcone pinecone bolo tie transforms a real Mt. Shasta-area pinecone into a distinctive piece of wearable forest art. The natural pinecone cross-section reveals a layered, rosette-like pattern that is shaped and finished by hand in McCloud, California.
The centerpiece is sealed with UV-hardened marine-grade epoxy for a durable, glossy finish. It is paired with a brown braided cord and silver-tone tips, creating a natural alternative to a conventional necktie. Wear it with western clothing, at a wedding or special event, or as a unique everyday accessory.
Grains of the Earth gathers knobcone pinecones near Mt. Shasta in Northern California. The business focuses on cones found on branches brought down by wind, snow or other natural conditions rather than removing cones from living trees. Each cone is selected, cleaned, prepared, cut and finished by hand.
Because every bolo tie begins with a real pinecone, natural variations in pattern, color, shape and outline are part of the design. No two pieces will look exactly alike.
