Bone Hairfork with Knotwork

Description

EDIT: This one is taken!

One of two bone hairforks that I've been working on recently.
The idea is that the client will pick one, and the other will be for sale in my Etsy shop and here on DA.

Please excuse the photo. I'm going to try again tomorrow morning for a better shot of this, as I'm not really happy with this photo but was too eager to share it to wait another day.

The other one has a slightly different shape, and will have a more angular knotwork for the main panel. I'll post a pic of it when it's finished as well.

The knotwork for the main panel was designed from scratch for this fork by my husband Phillip, as he's better at designing knots for enclosed shapes than I am.

The black detailing is black Testor's enamel.
The bone is bone left over from the mounting process for taxidermy mounting, from an area of the bone on the ridge of the nose in large herbivores. This could be elk, caribou or large African antelope as I bought the bones in a mixed box from *Zhon. None of the animals were killed just so I could carve their bones, and I consider the use of the bones as a way to honor the animal by not wasting their parts.

Both of them together:

So, were you selling the Bone Hairfork AND the Knotwood, or just the Bone Hairfork?
