1. Grah-Toe Birdseye maple heart wood fork with silver medallion. NOW $35.00 + you choose and pay for shipping method SOLD AND SHIPPED
I don’t have the original link for this; it was a gift and I never saw it in their sold section on Etsy or Artfire. I got a lot of compliments the few times I wore it, but overall I don’t use it.
It’s a little dark for maple wood. The overall tone is cool whereas my two other maple forks are definitely warm-toned. The back of the fork has some interesting grain that looks like some spalting, but I’m not sure. When I messaged her to ask what kind of wood it was, Kimi said it was from the heart of a maple tree.
6.25” long overall, 4.75” prong length, decorative top is 2.75” across at the widest point. This piece definitely has their organic profile (as opposed to the A-line). I measured it and the top is approximately an inch thick in the middle. It seems very light considering that it’s a substantial piece. Weight is 31 grams or 1.1 ounces.
It's in new condition and very lovely, just not a favorite of mine.
2. Grah-Toe tulip wood antler hair sticks. SOLD
When I looked at these closely I noticed very slight marring, just in the lacquer (or whatever coating they use on antlers) along the edges, probably from ending up in my purse once or twice. I did examine all these hair toys thoroughly because I don’t want there to be any surprises once they are re-homed. Except under intense scrutiny, these look just as they did when I bought them.
Another thing worth noting about this pair is that they are not symmetrical. The antler tine they were made from had one end that was more rounded, and the other side was more flattened. I posted a picture from the side so you can see what I mean. Also notice how much tine there is left after the prongs split, they do stick up in the hair quite prominently when wearing them. There is no head curve. The tines are very easy to open and use, unlike my other two pairs of antler sticks which hold shut so tightly that they take some effort to insert. These are easy to use, and I think that's a nice feature. See the original link at the bottom for more pictures and information.
As a pair they weigh 45 grams or 1.6 ounces. Even though they are asymmetrical, the weights are equal. 6.5” long. Used, but still in very good condition.

4. Grah-Toe tulip wood mermaid’s tail. [B]swapped
Total length is 5”, weight is 12 grams or 0.4 ounces. I think it is an A-line profile, or maybe very slightly organic. The topper isn’t very wide, looks like less than half an inch. I have worn it a couple of times. It’s in perfect condition. See the original link for more pictures and information.
