    Arrow (ISO) Anyone parting with a giganto-fork? :D

    Now that I'm armed with a couple 'dos that work with a huge fork, I'm interested in buying.

    I'm thinking I could use 4-5 prongs/tines (or even up to 7, as in the Baerreis Cygnus); this could be translated into a comb width (and fewer prongs?) of around3". Even 4" is a possibility!

    Prong/tine length probably needs to be around 4-1/2" to 5".

    Usually I go for a contrasting colour to my dark hair, but since I'm looking for something quite large, I'm thinking something that blends might be better, a dark wood or darkly coloured dymondwood.

    I'd been meaning to list my Grahtoestudio Maple fork on the Swap Board this month.

    I have a 5-prong fork in Macassar ebony (dark stripey brown). If you're interested you can come have a look.

    I have two that I am planning to sell - Barreis Seabird with 4.5 inch prongs. They completely overwhelm my hair - I bought them when I was a hairtoy newbie and they have never been worn.
    They are in Cardinal wood and ebony, respectively. I can post pictures if you are interested.

    (this last picture is not colour accurate - artificial lighting)
    Original listing is here: http://www.etsy.com/transaction/22167751
    I adore this fork but don't wear it as much as it deserves.

    I would be willing to sell it for $42 with Priority shipping, $47 with insured Priority shipping (insurance includes tracking - signature on delivery - a compensation up to 45 euro in case of loss or damage).
    How much for the cat? Just kidding of course, he/she is beautiful!

    Judging from the Baerreis website, the cardinal looks lighter in colour than what I'm looking for. Go for it, dfotw!

    Here are pictures of the two. They are gorgeous - such a pity they are too big for me. It would be good to see them go to homes where they will be loved.

    I am asking $40 for each fork plus shipping - $6 to Europe and $10 to the rest of the world.

    Cardinal fork is sold!


    Ebony fork is sold!
