Greengage and Ash Wood Hair Fork
This compact handcrafted hair fork is made from a lustrous deep Greengage wood with clear dark grain patterns at the top with contrasting ash pins. An interesting and eye catching fork.
Ash is an amazing tree. It's part of the ‘Sacred Triad’ of Oak, Ash and Thorn, and the Irish ‘Seven Noble Trees’. European Ash is a prolific species forming a very important role in the ecosystem of woodlands across Europe. We are loosing many Ash trees due to Ash die back and so it is an abundant timber at the moment. This Ash was gathered from tree work and pruning jobs I carried out in a woodland in a valley near Bath.
Greengage trees have beautiful flowers in the spring that are popular with moths, butterflies and other pollinators and delicious fruit later in the year that provide food for many animals.
Greengage wood has amazing reddish purple colours throughout it’s often gnarly grain.
The Greengage I have in stock has been gathered from pruning work we have carried out in our own garden.
Measurements:
13.7cm Long
4cm Wide
