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.

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.
