Hi Diane,
I saw your post about grain raising and posted my query, then saw your post of finished pieces. I checked out your hair forks and they are gorgeous. If I used them, I would get one for myself. However, I'm strictly a hair tie or braid kind of guy. My girlfriend, however, also thought they are gorgeous, and I would like to know what you charge for one of your walnut forks, with the turquoise inlay. Yeah, I could make one, but I'm really busy and besides, you do a really beautiful job on them, already!
It's good to know what you like in the wood. Sorry that maple didn't work out, strength-wise. Too bad, as it's amazing when polished. Please let me know on the pricing. I don't do the obligatory gift giving on government mandated holi- days, but I occasionally get inspired to buy a gift for someone. Your pics inspire me.

Hi Diane, thanks for the check. Have you had a chance to play with any of that wood yet? By the way, I see your 'mistress of the uterus' line here. Are you a mid-wife?(or nurse mid-wife?) Or an OB?
