For years we have enjoyed decorating with natural spanbaum and green spanbaum, and now the Erzgebirge has given us gold-colored spanbaum.
They have many names - Spanbaum, span trees, wood shaved trees, chip or chipped trees, twilled trees, splinter, and curled trees. The German word span means chip in English.
The one pictured here is 14" tall. They come in four sizes: 8", 10", 12," and 14" - find them here
They are unique to the Erzgebirge - Germany's Christmas Center and Toy Village of wood working craftsmen.
Use them to add a bit of elegance to your holidays - charming on a Thanksgiving or Christmas table.
