Contoured Magnolia and Purpleheart Wood Hair Pin

£35.00

This handcrafted hair pin is made from lightweight pale Magnolia wood that has a silvery brown grain with a couple of knots towards the top. The clear grain patterns run down the contoured pin leading to a dark coloured tip. The top is made from a heavier contrasting dark Purpleheart.

Magnolia trees are familiar to many of us for their amazing display of flowers in the Spring. This versatile wood is often used in cabinetmaking, furniture, joinery, and much more. This particular piece was pruned from a beautiful tree in 2019 that still stands happily in a nearby village 2019.

Purpleheart is a very strong wood from south America. This piece was left over from a local carpentry workshop. It is one of my favourite woods to work with. 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.
