Take a look at what I got

[Katchkan]

My jaw just about hit the floor today when I opened a gift from a long time friend and student. He had made me the most beautiful hook case I have ever seen. It will hold 4 of my steel crochet hooks in style. He told me the types of wood but I can't remember the lighter wood, but the darker wood is Tulip. I was just flabergasted that he would take the time and trouble to make this for me. He doesn't realize how priceless that gift is. It is something I will treasure always.

That is so beautifull what a wonderfull hand made gift it is. It made my eveing just to look at it.

I have been informed that the light burl wood is Amboya wood. It comes from the tropics. I have been after him for some time to try his hand at doing hooks. So I was expecting a crochet hook. I keep telling him how we need egornomic hooks with wood handles for us poor thread people. He did get a hook from me last week to put in a handle. But he said it needed dressed up and he would work on refining it. I can't wait to see it done.

[dhaunae]

Wow. Just, wow. That is just gorgeous, obviously made by an artist and perfectly fitting for the tools of a thread artist like you.

Impressive! My husband (who whittles my hooks) took a long look and was impressed. He always dreams of getting the wood turner that does that. He is always drooling over different woods. He loved the woods. Thanks for sharing!
