The unique characteristics of natural wood trump synthetic materials every time. Why not opt for the natural beauty of wooden buttons rather than the catatonic uniformity of today's modern world?

Turning (literally) raw exotic wood into gorgeous apparel trim at our Brooklyn factory is what we do at Buttonwood Corp. Sheets and turnings of wood come in one door, and finished buttons, toggles, beads and buckles go out the other. That's what makes all of the buttons we produce unique and stylish. The pictures that you see when you enter our site are the same quality and value that we ship when you order from our family firm (founded by our dear 'ol Dad, Murray, and his younger brothers, Nat and Hy, in 1939)

A button's ligne, refers to a button's size. The word ligne, is a French word that became the standard reference used by German button manufacturers in the early 18th century.

Ligne is the internationally recognized standard. What does it actually measure? Points of contention actually. Consensus at the time was that a "ligne" measured the inside diameter of a "round wick folded flat." A ligne measurement is inches divided by .0888, or cm divided by 2.2558.
