This handcrafted hair fork is made from African Iron on one side and Laburnum wood on the other. The Iroko wood has a reddish hue with a clear black grain. The Laburnum side features a knot and a rippled grain pattern along the forks. This a very strong and resilient little fork.

Iron is an African wood similar to Teak. It is very strong and resilient making it perfect for
Veneer, flooring, furniture, cabinetry, boatbuilding and turned items. This piece was left over from some flooring.

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
