- Total length to tip of wings, 5 3/8" (13.5 cm)
- Functional length 4" (10 cm)
- Prong space narrowing to 3/8" (1 cm), prong thickness 5/16" (0.9 cm).

A sturdy very strong fork with the most beautiful delicate hand (not laser) inlaid butterfly, of natural Pink Ivory wood and Cripple Creek turquoise, mined in Colorado. The hand-carved wenge wood has beautiful black-brown graining on reverse.

I just cut off a foot of hair so I'm re-evaluating my collection.

SOLD thank you for looking!

I seem to remember your collection is more than a little breathtaking. If you re-evaluate any GTS pieces, may I call dibs? :)

Ha, nice bit of opportunism :wink:

Kimi has made me promise to give her first refusal so that they can "go back home" should I decide that I have to part with any. But at the moment I couldn't bring myself to let any of them go :o

What can I say! It's in a good cause... :D

I'm not surprised. Neither at Kimi's bagging right of first refusal up front nor at your attachment to your lovely GTS toys! I guess I'll have to settle for right of second refusal and live with the fact that my chances of ever scoring are pretty slim... ;)
