NOTE ON EYE PATTERN: The three pattern choices are with the hook unturned in a block form. I do my best to match up the blank to what is ordered. But you can never tell how a block will turn. You may end up with less or more then you started. But then that's what makes it fun, like opening a present from Mother Nature (aka mom).

 Bird's Eye Maple is a domestic hardwood. The Bird's Eye figure is found in heartwood and sapwood. Both can be breathtaking. The boards are from Maple logs with irregular growth. The figure resembles the figure in a burl. It contains a small "eye" like in a burl, but it is more distinct. Each eye stands out separately. Small circular or elliptical areas resembling bird’s eyes on the tangential surface of the wood, formed by indented fibers. Bird's Eye figure is caused by a stunted growth, developed during the years the tree lacked space and sunshine.

This is my third all-wood hook I've ordered. I am a brand-blind Nelsonwood convert. I chose Nelsonwood crochet hooks after doing extensive research into ergonomic crochet hooks and comparing many retailers. Bryan cares - you see it in the crochet hooks he produces and you experience it when you actually handle and use the hook. In addition, he's all about customer satisfaction. I ordered a small diameter hook with extra eyes, which proved to be a challenge. Bryan reached out to discuss options while also striving to find a blank that would still display the bird's eyes. His hooks are masterpieces with a function; is it art or is it a craft? I think a bit of both. The crochet hook is light in hand, comfortable to hold (pencil grip), with a smooth finish. Add the eye-candy look of the wood grain and what more could a crocheter want?

I've ordered hooks from Nelsonwood in the years passed, but not too recently until now. I love the fact that he works with so many different wood types and I love the way the handles feel in my hand. I have arthritis in my hands, so the larger handles are perfect for me. For this most recent hook I ordered a longer handle and am very pleased with how it feels. The Birdseye maple is very lovely. After many years of crocheting with all types of hooks, including. a lot of wood ones, I decided to order this one with a metal hook, as I like having a fine point on my hooks. Even though I have not yet made any project with this new hook, I'm very happy with how it turned out and would recommend Nelsonwood to anyone who wants a beautiful and comfortable crochet hook.

One more hook added to my collection of Nelsonwood hooks. This 7mm in birdseye maple is perfect for the project I have at hand. I keep coming back for Nelson's hooks not only for their beauty but because they are the best tools I've found for my craft. They are easy on my hands, and that has allowed me to keep working when I might have otherwise had to set my work aside. Thanks again for another beauty!

I just love my hook. It took getting used to the width of the handle, but I really do love working with it now that I am. Soon I will order another. Thanks for such a wonderful hook, Bryan!

This is my first time buying a hook but will definitely not be my last! The hook is beautiful and so smooth. My yarn just glides over the hook. I am really impressed with how quickly I received it. I like that you can customize your hook with different bodies and ends. Truly one of a kind hooks. I've already started making my "Want" list and I've warned my husband that I'm addicted to these hooks.
