Wooden Card Stand – Alder Wood Display

A simple wooden stand can quietly transform a postcard into a small moment of presence.

These card holders are crafted from solid alder wood — warm in tone, smooth to the touch, and beautifully understated. I chose alder for its soft grain and natural character. Each piece is treated with a plant-based wax oil made from linseed oil by Biofa, allowing the wood to breathe while enhancing its gentle glow.

The alder wood is sourced locally through our regional timber merchant, who in turn works with wood from nearby forests. It feels important to me that even the smallest details in my webshop carry that same connection to nature.

I have these wooden holders placed throughout our home — on the kitchen shelf, in the hallway, beside my workspace. They hold seasonal illustrations, little reminders, and changing moments of the year. A simple way to let one image become part of your daily surroundings.

A timeless and natural addition to seasonal tables, desks, children’s rooms, or anywhere you wish to give a card a place of its own.
