Ever make something that turns out incredible through no fault of your own? Well this hook was my incredible piece today -- the way the turquoise color outlines each oval is almost surreal! I hand-turned this hook from dyed and laminated hardwood that's been impregnated with resin and densified, thus made extremely strong and durable, and also resistant to temperature variations and moisture. "Dakota" Dyed Hardwood is pure Southwest - a brilliant combination of turquoise, burgundy, golden yellow, and layers of tan reminscent of mesas, sizzling afternoons, and the arid sound of a rattlesnake in the distance. Size K+ (7 mm), eight inches long. Heirloom quality.
