Bubinga Rosewood Wood Hair Pin, red wood hair pin, hair pick, hair fork

I handcraft this wood hair pin from Bubinga. approx 5 3/4"x 3/4". I hand craft each hairpin is individually. Photo is example of hairpin in a specific wood type. Each is individually handmade and may have some slight variations in appearance.

Bubinga- (Guibourtia tessmannii - Africa) also called "African Rosewood" though not a true rosewood, Bubinga has a lovely Pinkish-rose color, veined with darker stripes and sometimes with mottled or "bee's wing" figure.

I make hair pins from many sustainable sourced domestic and exotic hardwoods. Pictured in the 2nd photo are some example from left to right (bocote,, birdseye maple, wenge, satinwood, snakewood, bloodwood, quilted maple, purpleheart, tulipwood) Most of these can be found in my store. If not, they may be available by special order. I can also customize lengths.

My Hair Pins have a specially designed shaped top and profile (curving in and back out again - like an hourglass) which helps them maintain a tight firm hold in the hair. Hair Pins are much easier to use than most people think (there's a trick to getting them to stay in tightly), these wood hair picks can be worn in a number of hairstyles and updos including buns, French twists, knots, chignons and many others.

Each of my hair Pins comes with detailed instructions explaining how to use it.
