Golden Sapwood has all the warmth and movement of sunlight caught in resin with rich honey tones that melt into caramel, ochre where it pools and earthy red on thinner application. It’s glossy and luscious, like sap caught mid-drip on a summer afternoon, thick with history and light. A little ancient, it’s a nod to the slow work of time, to trunks that have stood and weathered and given. It’s a glaze that feels alive: fluid, glowing, organic. Not polished perfection, but natural beauty doing its thing. Slightly sticky nostalgia.
Perfect for: mugs that want to look like they live in a cabin and smell faintly of toast and good intentions.
*Potter's Note: Golden Sapwood is high in iron, with around 10% red iron oxide giving it that warm, resinous depth and natural speckle. The heavy iron load saturates the melt, producing rich amber-to-russet tones that shift with thickness and atmosphere. The result is a surface that feels both organic and molten, breaking lighter on edges and pooling to deep, earthy browns in recesses.
