3-prong Mapleburl fork in need of small repair, free to a good home

[barnet_fair]

Wrestling my beloved 3-prong Mapleburl into my hair during an ill-fated trip to IKEA, I heard the dreaded "snap", and upon carefully withdrawing the fork found that a 1cm section on the end of a prong had come loose and was threatening to break off altogether.

Much as I love this fork, it does not suit my hair (whose coarse and brawny strands have bent metal and snapped acetate before). I'm also not in a position to repair it properly. I'd therefore love if someone who would enjoy this fork could take it, repair it, and wear it. Buyer pays postage only.

Fork

Usable length: 12.5cm
Total length: 15cm

Bought in October 2019 from Igor's Etsy shop. Original description:
The Hair Comb-328 is made of African Wenge wood and Blue and Beige Stabilized Russian Poplar Burl. Handmade.

Damage

Nothing has come off or been lost. A 1cm section of wood at the end of one of the prongs has sheared, and would snap off completely given some force. I imagine it will be possible to repair it with some glue.

The fork will be packed delicately in bubble wrap to try to prevent further damage.
