Oh My Woodness! Sunglasses

SmartBuyGlasses have proudly been a partner and supporter of the Eden Project since 2017, providing fair wage employment for the local villages that are at the core of global reforestation. This partnership has initiated an environmentally sustainable Oh My Woodness! eyewear collection and for every pair of wooden frame sunglasses and glasses purchased a tree will be planted. This will support communities in Haiti, Nepal and Madagascar as they benefit from a source of income and positive environmental measures.   

 

The Eden Reforestation Project was initiated in 2014 with the goal to help villages in Ethiopia that had been affected by the consequence of deforestation and were forced to leave their homes. 

 

“Eden Reforestation Projects” was launched in order to attempt to reverse environmental devastation that negatively impacted families and local culture.

 

The project has been doing very well and aims to reach 500 million planted trees by 2025, helping the local families and communities by employment and reforestation in those areas. 

 

At SmartBuyGlasses, every Oh My Woodness! Wooden frame sunglasses have been beautifully designed with nature in mind: with earth colours, green, blue and browns and handcrafted from wood and bamboo.

How to make sunglasses out of wood

There are various ways to make wooden frame sunglasses, some of which allow people to make it at home if they have the right equipment. At SmartBuyGlasses we take extra care in each step of making the Oh My Woodness! glasses and sunglasses, to produce unique, stylish, and eco-friendly eyewear! 

 

- Step 1 is to choose the right piece of wood you want to use to make the frames. There are various types of wood from which you can make sunglasses and they are kept safely in dry storage.

- Once a particular piece of wood is chosen, it is processed through the first laser cutter and divided into smaller pieces, measured for the particular wooden frame sunglasses to make. 

- A second laser cutter is then used to cut out the various parts of the frame, like the temples. 

- Then a drawing of the bridge and lens outline of the sunglasses is inputted into a CAD-CAM software which then transmits to the controlling device. This then activates the CNC engraving machine which engraves the outlines into the piece of wood. 

- Once the outline has been completed, a polishing machine is used to make the surface smoother. 

- To then bring the frame and temples together and create the appropriate hinges, a frame and temple slotter are used.

- Some sunglasses will then have the logo lasered into one of the temples.

 

The Oh My Woodness! collection is made from fashionable masterly design, exquisite craftsmanship, and dozens of precise manual processes to give the customer a natural, artistic, unique style of breaking from the ordinary with wooden frame sunglasses. 

 

Are wood sunglasses durable?

As mentioned above, wooden frame sunglasses are not only eco-friendly made from sustainable materials but they are also durable, able to withstand certain adversities. Saying that, however, they are not indestructible, so please do not sit on them. 

Wood is lightweight, sturdy and long-lasting and can be found in many parts of your house, for example. 

 

There are various types of wood with which wooden frame sunglasses can be made, each presenting its best qualities to make durable and stylish frames:

- Ebony wood is heavier but very durable. It has a darker tone and could be a great fit for the Fall season. 

- Zebrawood is lighter and has a softer tone with a light brown or cream colour. 

- Rosewood is stronger and a little tougher but has rich hue timber that derives from various tropical trees. 

- Bamboo, one of the most eco-friendly materials for wooden frames, is not technically wood but has been categorized as such due to it being highly sustainable and very light. 

 

Do keep in mind that some wooden frame sunglasses are either fully or partially made of wood and sometimes are combined with other materials, but nevertheless they remain stylish and unique. At SmartBuyGlasses we use high-quality wood and bamboo wood to allow for each pair of sunglasses the uniqueness and durability they need.
