Buffalo Body Magnet M029

The American Bison, often known as the "Buffalo," is an iconic symbol of the American West. This massive mammal, belonging to the Bovidae family, is closely related to the European Bison and the Wisent. Characterized by its humpbacked appearance, shaggy mane, and distinctive curved horns, the Bison is a symbol of strength and resilience. They are often called "Plains Bison" to distinguish them from the "Wood Bison." Buffaloes were once widespread across North America, with vast herds roaming the Great Plains. These mighty grazers played a crucial role in shaping the prairie ecosystems. Despite their massive size, they are surprisingly agile and can run at impressive speeds. These majestic creatures have faced near-extinction due to overhunting but have made a remarkable recovery through conservation efforts. Today, they are a symbol of conservation success and a testament to the importance of preserving endangered species and their habitats. The Buffalo's historical significance, strength, and majestic presence make it a revered and iconic symbol of the American wilderness.

Craft & construction

Powerful magnets that actually hold. Our magnet strengths vary by design. Smaller magnets pull 3–5 lbs — enough to hold to a refrigerator with more than a single sheet of paper or photo between. The heavier premium magnets use an even stronger 6–7 lb magnet, and slim designs use two smaller magnets where one won't fit. Our magnets are bonded in our studio by an artisan with an industrial-strength adhesive to ensure they will never come loose.

Hand-painted, marine-grade finish. Each hand-painted piece is carefully painted by an artisan right in our studio in Port Gamble, WA. The proprietary multistep process includes priming each piece followed by meticulous painting by hand in acrylics with fine detail work to bring the item to life with incredible detail. The final step adds a coating of marine-grade epoxy — a hard, clear finish that protects the artwork so our product can be used on a boat, outside, or other conditions highly resistant to fading or wear.

Certified American pewter. The antiqued finish is completely safe to touch — and the craft behind it has been refined over three decades. Each batch of pewter that arrives at our shop in Port Gamble, WA from an American supplier comes with a lab test showing the material is lead free.

Ready to give. Every item arrives attached to a backing card and sealed in plastic — clean, protected, and presentable as a gift the moment it arrives.
