A hand carved from beech with six fingers instead of five. The extra one is for one more ring. $64.

An open hand shaped from a single block of beech, with six fingers instead of five. The extra one is there for a reason: it is one more place to hang a ring, and it turns a useful object into something people pick up and ask about. Rings go on the fingers, bracelets rest over the palm, a necklace drapes between two fingertips, and when the jewelry is elsewhere it stands on a shelf as a quiet little sculpture.

Senser Woodcraft is a small studio that makes everything in its catalog by hand: spoons, animal-shaped plates, wall clocks and these hands. The beech is pale and close-grained, sanded until it feels like a river stone, with the grain running the length of the fingers so they stay strong. No two are identical, because the grain decides.

We chose it because it does a practical job without looking like a jewelry organizer, and because a six-fingered hand waving from a dresser is a good way to start a morning. The OK version is its sibling, if you want a pair.

Solid beech, 5.5 by 2.1 by 7 inches, about 1.3 pounds. Wipe with a soft dry cloth and keep it away from water. Made by Senser Woodcraft.
