This crochet hook is made fromĀ Jarrah Burl with Copper Inlay. It's shaped with a larger handle to relieve stress on the hand and wrist when crocheting. The hook has an Ergonomic shape that fits nicely in the hand.


The crochet hook measures 6 1/2" to 8" long depending on the size of the hook and is 3/4" to 1" in diameter at its widest.


General guidelines are sizes


Sizes M (9mm) and smaller are 6 1/2" to 7 1/4" long.


Sizes N (10mm) and larger are 7 1/4" to 8" long.


Hooks with multiple woods tend to be to the longer side of these measurements. The reason for the variation is that each hooks is hand turned and while the standard shape, which gives the ergonomic advantage, is maintained, each hook is uniquely it's own.


Because this hook is handcrafted there will be variation in appearance, grain and color. No two Hooks will be the same! Pictures are examples of what you will receive.


The amount of copper will depend on the available voids in the wood.

Jarrah, a species of Eucalyptus unique to the south west of Western Australia, is a spectacular hardwood known for its remarkable durability, extreme density and warm, rich colors. Its distinctive blend of beauty and practicality lends it to use for both elegant furniture and innovative construction. Jarrah is an excellent choice for everything from tables and desks, to countertops and cabinets to headboards and doors. 
Jarrah trees are also unusual in that they have a lignotuber, a large underground swelling which stores carbohydrates and allows young trees to regenerate after a fire. Because they are deep-rooted, as much as 40 metres (130 ft), jarrah are drought resistant and able to draw water from great depths during dry periods.
Spalted Tamarind - (Tamarindus indica) Also called Tamarind. Spalted Tamarind is a beautiful wood from Laos, Southeast Asia. 
Much of this wood comes from logs that were either found on the forest floor or were cut and then allowed to spalt in the very damp warm conditions of the jungle. The colors and various line patterns are truly unique from one piece to another. Heartwood has a spectacular background colors of ivory, yellow, and black lines, which gives this such unpredictable landscape effect.
Stabilizition is process that removes all moisture and then the wood is soaked in a stabilization fluid while a under a vacuum. This insure a good penetration of the stabilizing fluid. Then it's in to an oven for 24 hours (or more) to set the fluid in the blank. This process gives the wood a bit of strength and allows a really nice finish.
