Carved Wood Spirit Overhand Crochet Hooks

It's been quite a while since Dave made his Wood Spirit Crochet Hooks.  Today, he listed four new ones on Ebay!  These unique crochet hooks are made for a easy OVERHAND grip.  

Dave hand carves the wood spirit face so that it faces down when held. The smooth side rests against the palm while working. No two wood spirits come out alike 

since he does them freehand and the wood grain has a lot to do with the outcome of the spirit face also. Now you can enjoy your crocheting 

with a little friend.

Size H, 5 inch (5.00 mm) hook is made from Maple burl and walnut.

Size J, 5 1/4 inch (6.00 

mm) hook is made from Oak and Birch.

Size K, 5 inch (6.50 mm) hook is made from Maple Burl and Birch.

Size L,  is a 5 1/4 inch  (8.00 mm) hook made from light color Purpleheart and Birch.

Handmade Crochet Hooks

Handmade Birch Crochet Hooks

Dave usually creates highly stylized crochet hooks with ancient ivory and bone carvings to sell on Ebay. I've been asking him to design a line of hooks that we could sell directly to our Etsy customers for under $20 and he's done just that!

The hooks of this new line are made from White Birch, a favorite wood of commercial crochet hook makers for the smooth grain that doesn't snag on your yarn, and for the high tensile strength. They are all 6 inches in length.

Short Bone Crochet Hooks

Dave hand made these little crochet hooks from bone. Each crochet hook has a colorful celluloid insert. These small hooks are ideal for those with small hands or those that hold a hook with a overhand palm grip.

The sizes are as follows:

Green and Yellow Hook Size: US size E 3.5 mm

Red Hook Size: US size F 3.75 mm

Dark Amber Hook Size: US size G 4.00 mm

Cobalt Blue Hook Size: US size H 5.00 mm

These beautiful little hooks are up for auction on Ebay.com. If you would like to view these items, please click the link below.

Moby Dick Tatting Shuttle and Harpoon Picot Hook

It’s a whale of a shuttle ! Moby is carved from bone and is 3 ½ inches long. As an added treat, Dave has included a 5 inch bone picot hook that he carved in the shape of a whalers harpoon.

Unfortunately, Dave has a "copycat" on Ebay who is trying to duplicate his work, so a statement of copyright protection was added to this piece. Dave spent many hours planning and executing this Moby Dick shuttle and picot hook, so it would be a shame for this person to profit from Dave's hard work.
