Gently Contoured Elm & Sapele Wood Hair Fork

£45.00

This handcrafted hair fork is made from a classic piece of lustrous English Elm with a natural umbra from its sandy coloured heart wood to its pale cream coloured sap wood. It features a contrasting band of stunning Sapele and a brass pin for extra strength. A really beautiful and unique fork that is bound to catch the eye.

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. The Sapele that I used in this pin is from a small batch of highly figured pieces left over from flooring offcuts.

English Elm is a rare find due to Dutch Elm disease. Trees rarely reach maturity before the beetle finds them. It is often used for making boxes, baskets, furniture, hockey sticks, veneer, archery and bows. It is a strong wood with interesting grain and clear distinction between heart wood and sap wood. This piece was left over from a felled tree in a woodland near Bath in 2019.
