Natural Beauty: Hand Carved Wood Hair Sticks
Wood lends a certain natural beauty to items. As the trend moves more towards
organic and natural materials, carved wood jewelry and hair accessories become
more popular. Many hair sticks feature intricate hand carved designs of leaves
and flowers while others are more abstract in their design. The wood is just as
important as the design as certain types of wood have different hues and unique
characteristics. The effects, though, are nothing short of gorgeous.
Boxwood. This small tree bears a wood that has a fine even
texture which is perfect for carving. Its natural finish is a warm yellow-brown.
The texture of the wood is very smooth and fine thus lending a silky sheen when
polished or worked.
Peachwood. The peach is very symbolic in many cultures. It
represents luck, abundance, protection and a long life. The wood is slightly
coarse, but easily polished to a lustrous sheen. The rich colors of peachwood
may vary from green to brown to amber and the grain is very easily seen.
Lignum-Vitae. This ultra dense, easily carved wood comes in
colors ranging from black greens to velvety browns. Known as the "tree of life,"
its fine grain turns out beautiful carvings. It is easily manipulated and the
rich grain polishes to a radiant gloss.
Hand carved wood hair sticks or hair accessories are elegant compliments to a
wardrobe. The add class, color, uniqueness and an air of sophistication that
conventional hair jewelry simply can not touch. To hold these hair sticks in
your hand, to feel the smoothness of the finely polished surface and to be able
to see the intricate detail in the carvings is truly an experience. There is
something about handmade jewelry that makes it personal and special and hair
jewelry is no different. When you pair natural wood with intricate hand carvings
you do indeed get something personal and very special.
