Description I carved this from applewood shooters that grew from an old tree in my back yard in western Washington.

In private collection.

Do you take any comissions on the carved hooks? They are beautiful, and I would love to work with you to come up with a custom design. And I would for sure use it!

No. I used files, an x-acto and a pencil. That was pretty much it. Applewood is reasonably soft given my first hooks were made from bone.

Very Gorgeous, do you actually use it?

Presumably the person that bought it has. It's a stipulation that they must use the hooks they buy at least once even if it is just to hook a chain. All the hooks I have made for myself, I have used and love them.

It would be a shame if they just stored it away! I am glad that you give 'stipulations' of use! Once again, they are beautiful.
