Description

This handcrafted hair pin is made from Red River Gum Eucalyptus. It has a deep lustrous orange/red hue, a very pleasing scoop that fits your thumb perfectly at the top and an intricate ribboning grain running down the length of this exceptionally strong pin.

Red River Gum Eucalyptus is an iconic Australian tree. The timber has a reputation for durability, strength and its distinctive red colouring. Its wide availability has seen it used for a range of applications including heavy construction, railway sleepers, flooring, framing, fencing, plywood and veneer manufacture, wood turning, firewood and charcoal production. It was also commonly used as street paving throughout Sydney in the late 1800s. This piece was salvaged from a much loved giant that was felled in a garden in Bath in 2018.
