Tulip Wood K is Vicki's! Bidding closed!



PLEASE CLICK ON THE IMAGE, You won't regret it.

Ok so this isn't Deadman Crick wood. Nope its storebought wood, from Woodcraft where i saw the blank and just couldn't resist. Ain't she a purty one!
Can you guess what kind of wood it is?? Ok maybe you got the hint from the title of this post, you clever person you. Yes its Tulip Wood.
Now you say, how can you get wood from a tulip? VERY carefully. Heh. Ok ok I'm teasing. Tulip is a small South American tree with very distinctive grain, as you can easily see. The color is FANTASTIC! You'da thought "oh ho... Jimbo used stain on this one" But noooooo Jimbo never uses stain on hooks. Stain ain't nacheral. Just cause its not Deadman Crick wood doesn't mean it gets special treatment to make it look as good. Nooo.
So ok here's the skinny: This hook is oh about 7 1/2 inches long and a K sizewise for you K lovers. It has a smmmmoooooooooth handle end that doubles as a worry stone..... so nice to rub with your thumb.
Tulip is a little touchy to work with but ooooh such pretty grain, eh?

So its up for bids, kids.

I'll take bids till next Wednesday (Sept. 19th)till 10pm Pacific Std Time.

You can send bids to my yahoo email address at:

And I'll be here today (Sept 13) and a little of tomorrow morning, but then I'll be up at the crick working on the porch and having a family reunion till Monday... so go ahead and send your bids. Any that arrive while I'm still here, I'll try to post right away.. those that arrive while gone will be posted Monday.. ok?

So here we go!!
Oh and thanks again for dropping by!!
Jimbo
