Elaeagnus Wood Hair Fork with Bark
This handcrafted hair fork is made from a stunning piece of Elaeagnus Quicksilver wood. It features very dark bark and grain at the top with a pith mark a fine contrasting coloured grain running down the pins. A strong and eye catching fork.
Elaeagnus is a commonly found shrub here in UK gardens. Quicksilver is a lesser known variety with a more slender leaf than it's more common cousin. Elaeagnus has mostly been used for knife scales, bowls and pens etc as it is often multi stemmed. This shrub hides some impressive grain. Some know the tree as Russian Olive as it can resemble Olive wood.
This piece was pruned from a well established shrub here in Wiltshire in 2020.
Measurements:
15.7cm Long
3.8cm Wide
