A unique handcrafted hairpin made from Mahogany (Sapele). A wand like pin with a rich hue and deep flecked grain. Darker stripes within the wood follow the contours of the piece.

Sapele Mahogany comes from West, Central and East Africa. It is often used in furniture and cabinet making and as a veneer for marquetry. It is also used in the construction of musical instruments, for building boats and as a flooring material. This piece arrived in its previous life as offcuts of flooring that would have otherwise been thrown away or burnt.
