A new design Shed Antler hair stick! this is made using the whole tine as the fork! its reversible and can be used in damp hair !

What a Fun and unique shed antler hair Fork! We capped this one with Birdseye Maple wood and placed a glass Evil eye in it....:0). Who doesnt need an eye in the back of their head on occasion?!?

This antler has a smooth pebbled texture with lots of colors, browns and greys in the colored part and some ivory white. It is bold, strange,fun,funky and holds like a rock! It does have a bit of weight on the topper, so if you prefer very light forks this is not for you. wonderfully strong and comfortable! weight is 2.2 ounces.

Antler is an incredibly strong material.These are virtually indestructible!They have a bit of spring to them and hold incredibly well while looking unique and lovely.

Can you imagine the brave hunter bringing home his trophy that will feed and clothe his family for the winter months to come,and not wanting to waste any part of their provision, he makes an antler hair fork for his bride to adorn her long locks! A true gift of time and love.

This is finished and sealed.
This is cut from one whole tine, the working length is about 4.75 inches(12.2 cm) with a total length of about 6.5 inches(16.5 cm). This has a nice smooth head curve. This eye has a blue green iris and has water droplets on the lids. It's a complex piece of glass work and very beautiful! the eye looks human in its anatomy, and the lids are dragon-ish, a wonderfully fun combination!

The Glass artist that made the eye is Mike Hurst, of Hursts Handblown Glass. THe hair fork will come with a card about the evil eye tradition compliments of Mike!


Inspiration / Story behind this Product:
Antlers are shed and regrown every year by deer and elk. No animals were harmed to acquire these antlers. Local shed hunters go around during the shedding season and collect them off of the ground. They are extremely strong and a renewable resource!
The tips on these do not touch but if they are too close for you to insert, you can do the following:
TO insert the sticks into an updo, hold the tips apart(unless your tips are already apart) as you begin to grab the hair, then as you go down into the hair let go and they clamp down as they go in, providing fabulous hold to any type or thickness of hair.
