Wood Wonderland
Updated May 5, 2008
!0 years ago blonde woods were all the rage. Maple, beech, birch, white ash. Then about 5 years ago, it was dark woods; cherry, mahoghany..Or, as you probably know them; java and espresso and chocolate wood, since most of the dark woods were stains. But now, anything goes. And there are a million beautiful things made of wood these days. In any shade. Veneer, lasercut, bent. It's a wood wonderland!

Divine Damask

Shop or I'll shoot! Gun-shaped Stuff
Updated Apr 26, 2008

Or loathe. Your choice.

Updated Nov 27, 2007
Modern menorahs are growing in popularity. And since last years list was such a hit I've decided to continue to scour the world and web for new and more modern menorahs to add to last years' list. Please note that although I've listed many menorahs, this list does not include 'novelty' menorahs of which there are many. Instead this list is focused on beautifully designed menorahs that deviate from the traditional style. To see other modern holiday stuff, check out my other list(s).
