Dick finished the first batch of 'for sale' crochet hooks. Each is made individually by hand and polished to a high gloss. The handles are made from various hardwoods and the thumbpads are carved from ivory. These hooks are similar in style to the Clover Soft Touch hooks, which I find more comfortable than traditional round hooks. The three white hooks in the middle of the photo are hand carved from (pre-ban) elephant ivory.
From left to right: Imbuya (SOLD), size "H"; Canarywood and Ebony (SOLD), size "H"; Padauk with Ivory hook, size "D"; Bloodwood with Ivory hook (SOLD), size "G"; Purpleheart with Ivory hook, size "D"; Bolivian Rosewood (SOLD), size "G-7" (4.5mm); Bloodwood, size "H"; Zebrawood, size "G" (SOLD); and Tulipwood (SOLD), size "G-7" (4.5mm).
