Wooden hair sticks carved by Mariya
Material: Boxwood and Red feather
Measurements:7.28" (18.5cm )
Boxwood : Owing to its fine grain and iron strength it is a good wood for fine wood carving,
although this is limited by the small sizes available.
Owing to the relatively high density of the wood (it is one of the few woods that are denser than water)
boxwood is also used for high quality jewelry and parts for musical instruments.
The people say , that one gram boxwood as one gram of silver.
It does not rot, do not eat the pests.
But it is an expensive material, precisely because of these qualities.
It is also very hard and difficult for work, but then remained unchanged for centuries.
This pair of wooden hair sticks is hand cut from a block of Boxwood .
The wood is hand polished and each stick is cut individually, there is no pattern or form.
The wooden hair sticks are crafted to be used as a pair or as a single stick.
It is sealed and finished and should not need any maintenance except wiped with a damp cloth if it needed.
