thingmaker3 Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 I think if my wife sees this, I'll get locked in the smithy until she has some! Nice idea. Did you split the decorated end prior to scrolling? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fciron Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 When my sister was in the Peace Corps in Cameroon, she reported that the village smith did a brisk trade in hair sticks. I am sure he made other stuff, but she hadn't heard about it. Looks nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam2519 Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 David Excellent idea. Unfortunately that third photo of the sticks in the hair is so small, its hard to make out. Any chance of a few close ups of it in use? Also what kind of finish will/have you put on it? e.g. paint them a colour or clear finish like bees wax, or something else? Thanks for sharing Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidOhana Posted January 25, 2011 Author Share Posted January 25, 2011 Thanks to all of you the hair stick is made of raund bar 14mm thick 10cm long when 4cm of the top are flatened abit and splited in to a "fork" and shaped into what ever you want the rest is streched into pencil long and spind into a spiral .
