Magnet Clothespins

These magnet clothespins pins are available in ash, cherry, hickory, maple and walnut.  We have added three rare-earth magnets (the strongest type of permanent magnets made) making it perfect for use as a fridge magnet.  After the magnets are installed, the pins are finished with Classic Clothespin Wax, which protects the pins and makes them smooth to the touch.

 

Ash is valued for its high strength and resilience.  The ash tree is genus of flowering plants in the olive and lilac family. Because ash is low in naturally occurring tannins (a compound in lumber that can stain cloth), these are ideal for use on laundry.

 

Cherry, viewed as one of the finest North American hardwoods, is often used in high end cabinetry, furniture and flooring. When first cut, it has a light red tint, but the color will get darker and richer with age.

 

Hickory is dense and durable, making it useful in applications of high stress such as baseball bats and lacross sticks. It is also popular for smoking and barbequing as it adds a nice flavor to the meat. The majority of the lumber is lighter, with streaks of darker brown.

 

Maple is lighter in color and has a smooth, elegant grain pattern.  We enjoy working with maple the most out of all five wood types in this pack because it comes off of our saw and shaper with crisp, smooth cuts.

 

Dark, richly colored walnut is prized for its true heartwood which makes it strong and resistant to decay.  Historically, walnut lumber has been used to make things like rifles and furniture, but we think it makes beautiful clothespins.

 

Note: Cherry, Hickory and Walnut lumber are rich in natural tannins. Do not use these pins to hang your laundry as tannins could cause stains. Also, remember that the metal magnets and springs could scratch a stainless steel refrigerator, though we have not experienced this problem.

If any of our pins break due to a defect in the material or workmanship, we will refund you or replace the pins.
