That practical commission grew into a decorative metalworking business. The company’s values center on skilled craft, preserving traditional techniques and creating gifts that mark family milestones. Its artisans continue the metalworking tradition in Pennsylvania, with production now in Slippery Rock.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDogwood 7 Inch Small Oval Dish | Aluminum\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe legend holds that the Dogwood tree was once very large and its strong and sturdy wood was used to build the cross on which Jesus was crucified. Because of its role in the crucifixion, it is said that God both cursed and blessed the tree. It was cursed to forever be small, so that it would never grow large enough again for its wood to be used as a cross for a crucifixion. At the same time, however, the tree was blessed so that it would produce beautiful flowers each spring, just in time for Easter. The most unique part of the legend is that the petals of the dogwood actually form the shape of a cross. Upon close examination, it can be seen that the blooms of the tree always have fthe maker’s petals. And the tips of each of the petals are indented, as if they bear a nail print. There are even colors in the petals that bring to mind the drops of blood that spilled during the crucifixion. This versatile oval-shaped dish has as many uses as you have ideas??available in so many designs and serves almost anything.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- BA:PRODUCT-DETAILS:END --\u003e\n\u003c!-- BA:FEATURES:START --\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDesign and gift ideas\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesign: Dogwood 7 Inch Small Oval Dish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduct type: Decorative Bowls\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChoose the exact listed design and finish; gallery scenes may show other collection pieces.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePersonalization in a photograph is illustrative unless a confirmed matching option is available with this purchase.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c!-- BA:FEATURES:END --\u003e\n\u003c!-- BA:SPECIFICATIONS:START --\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand: Wendell August Forge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSKU: 13174OBS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Aluminum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize: 5.5\" x 7\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCountry of manufacture: Unverified\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c!-- BA:SPECIFICATIONS:END --\u003e\n\u003c!-- BA:MATERIALS:START --\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMaterials and finish\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAluminum.
