This unusual handcrafted hair fork is made from honey coloured Pyracantha Wood. A crooked design that features fine knots and grain running down the piece and a natural bark edge at the top. The twists and turns make it a very stable fork to 'lock' into your hair.
Pyracantha will be very familiar to gardeners here in the UK. They grow well here and are very thorny. Their berries are a much needed food source for birds during the winter months and provide shelter for nesting. This piece has been made from wood gathered from a local gardening project. It is a very interesting wood to work with and I am always surprised at what lies beneath the gnarled bark.
