A handcrafted hair fork made from French Oak. It has a smooth fine muted colour with flecks of darker grain. The European Ash, by contrast, is much paler with a gentle even grain running the length of the Fork. The duel wood colours of this peice give you a dark and light side. Along with a destinctive curl shape forming the top edge, making a unique pin.

Oak trees are some of the oldest species of tree in Europe and a particular favorite of mine. These trees have been used for thousands of years; notably for ship building and construction. Oak trees are an integral part of our woodlands. This peice was part of a very old beam that was kindly donated to me by my cousin. For around 500 years it formed part of a barn roof in rural France surrounded by vineyards.
