Description Celtic hairfork, carved from poplar wood, with a coat of dark walnut stain, black enamel details.

This piece was a commission, and is not for sale.

If you would like to commission something similar, just note me.
Each of these is one of a kind, so please be aware that the knot and exact shape are my choice, and that you need to allow about four months for completion.
These can be made in a variety of woods, bone and other materials.

I think yes, but low I confess I'm low in money ...

I'm a student ... so as you can imagine ... all my animals (all the animals in my gallery are mine except for Zatarra and Luna) are not easy to mantain with low money ... I rarely buy clothes for me ... XD

I totally understand. You could always tell your friends/family that you want it for Christmas/Yule. If you want something custom, bear in mind that you need to tell them that if it's not ordered by the start of Oct, there is little chance of it shipping in time for the holidays. But I can issue a gift certificate, which is more fun in some ways, since you would get to tell me exactly what you want.

Thanks.
This kind of work takes a lot of practice. My first efforts looked amazingly bad.

Oombala In reply to Wyrdhaven [2010-03-14 04:54:35 +0000 UTC]

I would probably have an eternally scarring accident that would put me off of this work forever.
Or I'd just be too lazy to pursue this art.

The best way to fail is to decide to fail before you start a task.

Me too. No way could I whittle this. It's carved with a Foredom flexshaft and tiny dental burs.

Love it! How much do you charge for one of these, if I might ask?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Wyrdhaven In reply to JMWJewelry [2010-03-07 04:23:07 +0000 UTC]

They run about $50 for one like this, less if simpler than this, more if in an expensive material or more complex.

I do have another wood one for sale right now, if you don't want to wait for a custom.

Thanks!
It's all in the tools, honestly, and you have to go slow and be patient.
And practice!
My first knots were really lousy...
