This dainty handcrafted Hair Fork is made with a deep Purpleheart wood and a dark American Black Walnut. It has a wonderful dark purple hue with a dark walnut detail.

Purpleheart is a very strong wood from south America. This piece was left over from a local carpentry workshop. It is one of my favourite woods to work with. Sapele Mahogany comes from West, Central and East Africa.  It is often used in furniture and cabinet making and as a veneer for marquetry. It is also used in the construction of musical instruments, for building boats and as a flooring material.

American Black Walnut grows in Canada and Northern America.  It is a prized wood for cabinetmaking and provides some pretty tasty nuts.  The hair pin has been made from wood that would have otherwise been thrown away or burnt.

This pin is finished with natural herb and resin oil and Nutshell wax. The products are eco friendly and non toxic, blending selected beeswax, Larch oil and essential oils to give your hair pin years of protection.  It also uses no  VOC's, formaldehyde or petrochemicals.
