hubby made hooks

[sfgwife]

Ok hubby made these for me as part of my Christmas gifts. Would you buy ones like these and how much would you pay for them? some of them he did the whole hook in wood others he turned the handles and put in the hooks. He did those for the smaller ones.

They are lovely, what a crafty hubby you have.

[Yammy]

Absolutely! I would especially be interested in the smaller hooks like for doing thread. I've been really wanting something like that as the small metal hooks are really hard on my hands.

 

Those are really beautiful. As for pricing, you would probably want to take a look around online, ebay and the like, you'll see a wide variety of prices, just go somewhere in the higher middle ground and you'd do fine.

Those are great!! Great to have a Crafty hubby!

I really like the white one alot

[remclave]

From one maker to another, those are beautiful!

 

Last week, I made some plain-jane afghan hooks as I couldn't find them locally....

[MsSuzKelly]

those are neat!!!!!

[heart]

WOW!!! Those are fabulous!!!!

[sallenlouise]

They are gorgeous!

The detail is too cool!

My fav is the full wood ones though.

not sure on prices......sorry

[Around74]

Those are great. I would definately be interested in the steel ones. I agree that you should check out prices online. I'm sure you would do great selling them.

[Riohnna]

I like them! I wouldn't have the first clue on pricing, but like the others are saying,,,,check around, go "vr" shopping and compare.

[Chiscrochetcrazy]

Those are beautiful I'm not really sure about price it depends on where you're selling them. I've been looking at alot of hooks lately & they start at $10 & go up to $30 for wooden hooks.

[funkyreporter]

Very nice! I too would love the smaller steel hooks as it is very difficult to find a small gauge steel hook in a nice thicker handle like what your hubby made. He did a GREAT job!

[Brae]

I've started a small collection of handmade, turned wood hooks, or rather, more like your hubby's making ... wooden handles with steel hooks inserted. I LOVE them!

 

I've paid $9.99 up to $17.99 for them, not including the cost of shipping.

 

Hope that gives you an idea!

What a terrific hubby you have. I love the white one. I'm sure you will treasure your hooks.

[angelfire]

those are wonderful. I know that I bought some thread ones on E-bay once for 13.00 each...you could check it out. I know that it will depend on the wood used. You have a great hubby to make those for you.

[sfgwife]

Several of you have liked the white one. That was his first one to me and let me tell you he went back and forth making that one getting it just right for me. It is made of pine so it is VERY light in my hands. but are you liking it because of the white or because of the finger rest it has? Thanks again.

I like the white one because of the clean lines and the color. It looks like it would be very easy to work with.

[CrochetCatskills]

wow, what a nice present..... he is very good at that.... Am I seeing a new business in his future?

 

I'll test them out for you if you like

[sfgwife]

Cindy you are too funny.......... I get to test them out for him. HAHAHAHA! I told him that I think people would buy them from him and he says "maybe" such a man of many words huh? When he gets home from his little trip I may have him make some to sell on here. I dunno.

[needlesandpinza]

you know try local first. I have not sold one hook online but they are going well in my town. I live in a town of cheapskates thu and only charge them 5.00.

for complately handcarved thats underchargeing but here everyone likes that price.

Why not try asking around local sometimes it pays ...it did here

[bluemoon]

my favorite one is the second from the top...is it wood??? i would be interested in buying one,,but it looks like you used boye style hooks,and i would have to have the susan bates kind of hook..i can't use that style with the big ball at the top...hope you know what i mean..don't knnow how else to describe it..as for pricing,,i agree that you should check around and see what others are asking for similar items and then price accordinglyl;;would the be pretty if you embellished them with a bead or somehting at the top of them???? just a thought...maybe not a good one....

[KateCrochets]

I think they're goregous! If your husband does decide to make and sell, let me know

 

Although his love for you in making them is worth more than what ANY of us can afford to pay!

 

What a great husband

[Chiscrochetcrazy]

I asked my hubby could he make me some he said sure but I need another tool to do so

So I'd buy some of yours The last thing we need is another tool that hubby uses for a week then gets bored with

[sfgwife]

Alisha.......... well I also have a tool fiend. I have been after him for a while to make me these but yep he needed the new tool too. He does use it for things other than these too. Ya never know he may like turning and stick with it.
