Small Contoured Laburnum Wood Hair Fork

£40.00

This small handcrafted hair fork is made from a stunning piece of lustrous Laburnum with deep contrasting grain and knot patterns running down the curved forks. A really strong, beautiful and classic fork.

Laburnum wood is a stunning wood found in southern Europe and here in the UK. Prized by furniture makers and luthiers this beautiful deep grained wood is often used for veneers. It is one of the few woods we have in the UK that feels and behaves like rosewood. Cross cut sections of this wood called 'oysters' have been used to make furniture for centuries. A stunning tree and a gorgeous wood, it never fails to impress. This piece was salvaged from a very old tree that had fallen in a storm in 2012. I've saved as much of the old dear as I could and I can't wait to see what further wonders lie beneath the bark
