This crochet hook was one of my first and favorite projects. It is a simple hook made from walnut that I turned between centers on my lathe. The knot was not visible to me when I started the turning project, so this was one of those happy accidents that work out every once in a while.
If you are curious, I hand cut the hook itself with a razor saw, and pared away the waste with a chisel. You got to have a sharp chisel to keep from popping the end off a hook like this.
Well hope you enjoyed looking at one of my favorite items. It is a joy to hold, use, and view.
Thanks
David

Very nice!
My Mother used to crochet a lot of things. She would have liked this.

Cool!
My aunt knits, I may have to make her one of these- probably won’t be able to find a knot as nice as yours.
Good Luck in the contest.
