This custom Signature Collection hourglass is handcrafted from solid padauk wood grown in Africa. The color is a redish-brown, often with dark stripes. It is moderately hard and heavy with a medium texture and large pores and a very smooth surface. An elegant and unique wood, it's redish brown color will deepen as the wood ages, taking on an antique look. If exposed to prolonged periods of direct sunlight it will turn a beautiful golden brown. Combined with glass bulbs hand-blown in England, this piece is beautiful.

This handcrafted Padauk wood hourglass features spiral spindles and beautiful red/orange coloring. Customers praised the "superb craftsmanship" and detailed work, noting it "looks better in person." Many use it for weddings and gifts. Timing is surprisingly accurate (60 mins). Some noted the wood color appears brighter red than online photos. Excellent customer service reported.
What a beautiful timepiece this is. I've always liked hourglasses and couldn't resist buying one for myself. When I first took it out of the box it I thought how much nicer it looked in person than on the website. It's very solidly made. You can tell a lot of care went into both the wood and glass and that it will last for many years. I wanted a semi functional timer as well and even though they list these as ornamental, I was happy to see that after testing the times we're actually pretty on point. Side A had an average time of 1:01:20 with the highest divergence of 1:01:27 while side B had an average of 1:00:30 with the fastest being 1:00:27. So all in all pretty accurate!
Ordered this as a fiftieth anniversary gift for my spouse. Shannon was very helpful with the order and engraving request. Arrived on time with superb workmanship. It’s everything I had hoped for.
I was extremely happy with the purchase of the hourglass. The craftsmanship was detailed and perfectly completed. This was a special birthday gift for my wife, and she loved it. We want it to become an item we can pass forward in the family for years to come.
The Padauk Hourglass was a lovely gift for our son and daughter-in-law. It was both a gift and a "prop," fitting in perfectly with the talk I gave at their wedding, about the passage of time and the importance of making the most of each season of their life together. Thank you for the prompt and safe delivery, and the expert craftsmanship. This very special hourglass will become a treasured family heirloom and a reminder of the precious gift of time.
Beautiful piece of art. Quality is perfect. This is a gift that I hope will be treasured. I couldn’t of asked for better service. I love this company .
It is a truly beautifully carved piece. I really enjoyed reading the note about it's creator. This is going to be an amazing addition to our wedding ceremony and I look forward to displaying it for years to come. The customer service was also incredible. I made a mistake in my purchase and they reach out quickly and resolved it for me so easily. The person was always so nice and helpful and quick to respond to any questions I had. This was a truly amazing experience.
The hourglass was beautiful and just what we wanted and expected.
The service was outstanding timely and helpful.
I wanted to use an hourglass for some functionality from our wedding memorabilia. I selected the hourglass with the wood from Africa since my husband and I developed our relationship during his deployment to Burundi Africa. Funny thing the letter we received from the farmer who carved our hourglass is a big fan of The Wizard of Oz so is my mother-in-law and our song selection for the parent dances was 'Over the Rainbow.'
The ordering was simple. I was a bit worried on the timing of the delivery because my account did not reflect a shipping notification. However the day I called/emailed about my order it literally arrived at our house within minutes.
This is a really neat hourglass. We really like it it came quickly and it looks nice. My only wish was that it came with a funnel as it's hard to find one that small of size!
Had to glue in the pieces myself which was easy to do as long as you have some wood glue to assemble it.
Great.
The wood was a little more red than I expected but it was simply beautiful! I can tell that a lot of hard work went into creating the piece. I ordered the 60 min hourglass and it clocked in at 60 mins and 10 seconds - talk about accurate! My brother for whose graduation it was purchased simply loves it!
There was an issue with my address but it was resolved and with the best possible experience - vacations and all!
it looks greatwe got it for our daughter. She is going to use it for her vintage wedding. I'll send you pics if you want?
Service was great right on time like they said. Thank you
Beautiful....all the way from the selection of the wood to the personal engraving.
Service was exactly as described and the item arrived on the day I expected it.
We ordered the hourglass kit with laser engraving for our upcoming wedding and it far exceeded my expectations! Its absolutely beautiful! The online pictures really dont do it justice. You will not be disappointed!
The customer service was excellent! I had both reservations and concerns about the product and the laser engraving. They were very helpful eased my mind and delivered an excellent product in a timely manner!
The cherry color was not as dark and rich as appeared on-line. It's a bright red. Craftsmanship was great. The person I gave it to loved it.
The hourglass was very well packaged.

Excellent fast delivery and well packed.
Well made easy to assemble very nice finish on the wood. A very nice addition to our wedding ceremony.
Prompt shipment great communication.
My husband and I got this for our wedding as a stand in for a unity candle or something. The hourglass is absolutely beautiful. The color is stunning. It's a beautiful red/orange. I've never seen anything like it and the craftsmanship is perfect. LOVE IT! If you buy a kit make sure to get very fine sand though. The place it falls through is quite small. Wonderful product!
Great! Very friendly and answered my questions quickly.
I bought this as a birthday gift for my daughter in law who had expressed a desire for one. This product and the uniqueness of it went beyond my expectations! The wood is gorgeous and the privilege of choosing the length of time as well as color of sand was an added bonus! Since it is called an 'hour glass' we chose the 60 minute. The glass is beautiful and hand blown from England. The hourglass is built to order which adds a personal touch. This has started a tradition in our family. I immediately received requests from three more daughters! The hourglass is well worth it's price!
The creator of the hourglass was scheduled to go on vacation the day after I made my order. So our receipt of the product took longer so the receiver got it late for her birthday. Everyone needs a vacation so that was NOT an issue for me. I printed out an enlarged photo of it from their website placed the print out in a box and wrapped it with birthday wrap! My daughter in law was excited at that presentation and more excited when the product arrived! I would highly recommend the product and the producer!
