Contoured Laburnum Wood Hair Fork
£35.00
This handcrafted hair fork is made from stunning Laburnum wood. It features a deep dark knot across the top with tiny checks. The grain is fine and lustrous throughout the piece. A very smooth, strong and unique fork for any hair style.
Laburnum wood is a stunning wood found in southern Europe and here in the UK. Prized by furniture makers and luthiers this beautiful deep grained wood is often used for veneers. It is one of the few woods we have in the UK that feels and behaves like rosewood. Cross cut sections of this wood called 'oysters' have been used to make furniture for centuries. A stunning tree and a gorgeous wood, it never fails to impress. This piece was salvaged from a very old tree that had fallen in a storm in 2012. I've saved as much of the old dear as I could and I can't wait to see what further wonders lie beneath the bark.

Sacha was very helpful with which hair fork/pin would work best for my hair. Excellent customer service, and very helpful. My hair fork is absolutely stunning. Such a beautiful wood, and the care and attention to detail is evident. The story of the tree and saving as much as possible is true sustainability. I will use for many years, and will be back to add to my collection.
